Is it an OK configuration tool, or does it do Bad Things like Automatix? [00:00] jsut lags there [00:00] unagi: it's basically , , [00:00] I can't seem to install Reason - it tells me to insert the DVD, but doesn't recognize when I do. [00:00] but it works using putty [00:00] ryan it works fine [00:00] on other machine grr [00:00] unagi: there's a mapping of button names to button numbers at the top, you can use either [00:00] when i "purge" from gnome i can use gui synaptic? and lib* can stay or i need to purge also? (int. nvidia, dell d800, gusty) [00:00] !enter | acidfire2008 [00:00] hey ive just installed xubuntu desktophow do I use t [00:00] acidfire2008: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [00:00] john_: I don't doubt it works. But does it break things? [00:00] LiraNuna: so this is not really important as long as i restart when shifting from gnome to KDE4 [00:00] ? [00:01] Ah, the wonderful world of linux support. [00:01] simonss, it's for people who don't want to restart X [00:01] maybe im toos tupid to get this astro76 [00:01] acidfire2008, with so many posts in the channel, its beneficial for you to post the users nick, at the beginning of your reply, so someone knows who you are talking to [00:01] im on a guinnipig hd now and so far it,s solid [00:01] simonss, you don't really care, so just restart [00:01] i have no sound what so ever. [00:01] Question: Where would I be able to obtain themes for Gutsy Gibbon?

I'm trying to run the Cell Minimal Install CD on my PS3, but it's not loading when I start the PS3. Any ideas? [00:02] unagi: but maybe it's something beside button6 and 7 ;) [00:02] acidfire2008, please read my two previous posts, before replying anymore [00:02] so how do I boot up in xfce in ubuntu after insallation with gnome [00:02] acidfire2008, can you ping the host ? [00:02] exneo, log out log in [00:02] acidfire2008, ping IP [00:02] tried it [00:03] hi [00:03] exneo, log out, select the KDE season [00:03] hi aby [00:03] and then what [00:03] restart? [00:03] ok its working asking me to accept a key [00:03] I use other gdm theme [00:03] astro76: [00:03] I have a couple keys that don't do anything, is there any way to capture the input off them and map it to something? [00:03] i accepted and it is jsut asking for a pass [00:03] unagi: oh yeah the other wrinkle is the line before each section, specifies a mask for which programs it applies to, all programs would be ".*" [00:03] not login [00:03] k ill try it [00:03] !enter > acidfire2008 [00:03] unagi: logging out and in should be sufficient, if not restart X [00:04] brb [00:04] which program do you use to enter the internet? ( i use the terminal but a graphical programm would be more nice) [00:04] Is there a PS3 Ubuntu channel? [00:04] abyssal.. firefox. o.o [00:04] How can you ask that? [00:04] !ps3 [00:04] Sorry, I don't know anything about ps3 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:04] guess not [00:04] There may be a PS3 forum on the ubuntu forums [00:04] Abyssal: You can use IE via Wine, Firefox, Epiphany, or others.

I use the line boot:live noapic [00:05] hi all, can ubuntu be installed via live cd through summit like deamon tools? or does it have to boot to the ubuntu live cd? [00:05] astro76, that isn't helping. [00:05] marcelo_: Yes, it is working. [00:05] yea astro76 it didnt work [00:05] marcelo_, its really working. [00:05] I have a couple keys that don't do anything, is there any way to capture the input off them and map it to something? [00:05] acidfire2008, its using your username on your system [00:05] Arv3n: i do not mean browser. i mean a programme instead of the command "sudo pon dsl-provider" to access the internet. [00:06] unagi: it usually takes a little experimentation [00:06] acidfire2008, press enter, it will prompt for a username, then a password [00:06] Permission denied, please try again.

[00:06] does anyone know where to download really good themes for ubuntu powerpc [00:06] omfg [00:06] Abyssal: You could make a .desktop that runs the command that you want to connect to the internet. [00:07] acidfire2008, thats the last time I am posting that into to you [00:07] unagi: i would google for some example imwheelrc [00:07] RyanPrior: so there is something wrong... after unstall some programans i could find some configurations files into home file [00:07] there are tons of examples already in there astro76 [00:07] syntaxerror55, you can try [00:07] RyanPrior: how? [00:07] Abyssal: alternately, you could add a session that will connect to the internet upon login.

The package not working? [00:07] whats wrong with that? [00:07] unagi: as I said maybe it's not button6 and 7 [00:07] syntaxerror55, I have no idea, but probably [00:07] acidfire2008, ssh defaults to the current user name [00:07] but i know for a fact it is [00:07] thats why then [00:07] hi guys [00:07] how can i change username? [00:07] marcelo_: Those aren't part of the package, presumably. You can delete them if the package is gone. [00:08] but i know for a fact it is astro76 [00:08] where can I get a sql plus client to connect to an oracle db from ubuntu ? [00:08] Is SCIM known to work improperly on Gutsy? [00:08] unagi: do you have a line ".*" above those two lines? [00:08] acidfire2008, i cannot be of any further assistance to you, good luck [00:08] LiraNuna, Thankyou very much, its working perfectly now. Is it possible to have different backgrounds per monitor? [00:08] Abyssal: Which method do you prefer? A double-clickable icon, or auto-startup on login? [00:08] (sethk, if so, that could definitely be my problem...) [00:08] yes astro76 [00:08] RyanPrior: that .desktop sounds nice. is it a icon to doubleclick then? how can i make that? [00:08] spdf: how u change the username then? [00:08] acidfire2008, user@host (for example... root@someaddress.com) [00:08] RyanPrior, i thought apt did that kind of thing... [00:08] ohhhh [00:08] my bad man [00:08] no auto thing! icon is fine. [00:08] Abyssal: On your desktop, right click and select "Create Launcher...: [00:09] Can anyone help with my PS3 + Ubuntu? [00:09] the live CD isnt starting X/Gui on my hardware.. I have tred boot:live noapic and it doesnt crash, but no graphis.. ends in a command line.. what else to read?? [00:09] micahcowan, I don't really know much about SCIM. [00:09] Abyssal: Then set that launcher's icon and give it the command that you use to connect to the Internet. [00:09] unagi: I know I've struggled with it many times over many years ;) I've finally gotten it to work easily lately [00:09] marcelo_: Apt tracks package files, not config files that are built by the package while it's running. [00:09] OMG. [00:09] sethk, I'm not generally using it when I experience the problem... but it's on/active, and it does deal with funky keyboard input stuff... :) [00:09] this sucks. [00:09] marcelo_: For example, if you uninstalled OpenOffice, Apt would not delete your .odf files [00:09] dusty-sts, no it's not possible [00:09] but you cant get it to work for me =( astro76 [00:09] dusty-sts, atleast not that I know of [00:09] unagi: you might have things mapped around in xorg.conf, and also through xmodmap, it can get complicated [00:09] I have a couple keys that don't do anything, is there any way to capture the input off them and map it to something? [00:10] ubuntuguide.org said that SCIM may not be working properly on Gutsy, though it worked fine in Feisty [00:10] i dont have anything mapped for buton 6 or 7 [00:10] LiraNuna, ok, thankyou VERY much. [00:10] RyanPrior: ok. i guess it is command in terminal? [00:10] dusty-sts, np [00:10] sudo pon dsl-provider? [00:10] Abyssal: Only if it needs to be run in the terminal to function. [00:10] Abyssal: If it can be run in the background, it doesn't have to be command interminal. [00:11] Abyssal: use gksudo [00:11] RyanPrior: ok. and when i want to disconnect? do i have to create a extra button? [00:11] Negromancer, the "xev" utility (x event) will tell you the keycode [00:11] Negromancer, the "xev" utility (x event) will tell you the keycodes [00:11] gksudo? [00:11] unagi: how about for Left and Right, because that's what the Firefox entry is by default, which is 6 and 7 [00:11] oh one more think is it possible to take a screen shot of the whole desktop? [00:11] Negromancer, with the codes, you can use xmodmap to assign them to something [00:11] as in both screens? [00:11] Abyssal: gksudo is the "graphical" sudo, removing the reliance on the terminal window. [00:11] Can ANYONE help me with my PS3 and Ubuntu? [00:12] and firefox responds to it astro76 [00:12] !patience > Arv3n [00:12] thanks, sethk [00:12] Abyssal: You could make a shell script that initiates an internet connection or terminates it if it's already there, thus creating a "toggle" button. [00:12] unagi: firefox does back and forward with the wheel tilt? [00:12] RyanPrior, more accurately, gksudo is a graphical sudo _adding_ the reliance on the X server [00:12] -.- [00:12] yes [00:12] RyanPrior, so... what should --purge spouse do ? [00:12] Arv3n, short answer no, as you havent asked a direct question [00:12] RyanPrior, consoles are always available, and thus there is nothing to remove [00:12] RyanPrior: how to make such a shell script? [00:12] neverblue, it won't boot my minimal cell install cd. [00:13] marcelo_: Remove the package-configuration files that would otherwise be left on your computer, allowing a quick reinstall. [00:13] neverblue, and I HAVE asked it. [00:13] which means its mapped to alt left and alt right but when i change metacity to switch workspace with alt left and right it doesnt respond astro76 [00:13] unagi, load up imwheel -c, click "Grab Wheel Action" and try the left/right [00:13] Arv3n, read the post I sent to you in pm [00:13] Abyssal: You can ask more about shell scripts in #bash [00:13] any tool to monitor the bandwidth used by each client in the lan? [00:13] spdf: i already know its button 6 and 7 [00:13] unagi: oh that's the problem, we're trying to map the same buttons, actually the last two sections are causing you problems, the one starting with ".*" and the one starting with "(null)" which map Left and Right [00:13] anyone know a good ftp gui program for fxping etc on ftp? [00:13] astro76: what? [00:13] fxping? [00:13] sethk: You missed my point by not listening to the whole conversation. :-) [00:13] !ftp [00:13] FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd [00:14] acidfire2008: ftp [00:14] remote transfer to remote box Dr_willis [00:14] acidfire2008: oh i didn't see you said gui [00:14] RyanPrior: thank you. can you help me with that gk sudo again. did not get that. how to install this one? [00:14] unagi: the last 6 lines in your /etc/X11/imwheelrc assuming you didn't change it [00:14] neverblue, never seen that. :) never neeed to i guess.. [00:14] RyanPrior, hum... ok, thanks [00:14] unagi, this is what I've got for my thumb buttons http://pastebin.com/m4b00d26c [00:14] #, Thumb2, End [00:14] # vim:ts=4:shiftwidth=4:syntax=sh [00:14] Abyssal: gksudo is installed by default, and you can (and should) replace "sudo" with "gksudo" any time you want a graphical sudo rather than a terminal one. [00:15] marcelo_: No problem. Good luck cleaning up the extra cruft. [00:15] ok. i understand. [00:15] RyanPrior: thank you once again. [00:15] unagi: oh ok [00:15] Abyssal: No problem. Pop back in if you have more question related to adding to Ubuntu menus and so on. [00:15] unagi, those are comments/settings for vi at the end. :) [00:15] what Dr_willis?

My computer automatically connects to either my dads network, my moms, or the neighbors, and I need it to NOT connect to the neighbors.

Most likely Meaningless to your problem.

[00:17] pike_: Can't. And even then, my computer would still attempt to connect to that network, until it eventually gives up(which it never seems to) [00:17] loodjuret: ubotu is a bot [00:18] !bot [00:18] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [00:18] marshall: I use a utility called StartUp-Manager to automate grub.lst modification. You could check it and see if it works for you. [00:18] Flare183: heh [00:18] see [00:18] Does anyone know how to install Ubuntu Minimal CD on my PS3? [00:18] !install > Arv3n [00:18] loodjuret: So, that answers your question - it appears to be possible. Do you have another question? [00:19] Arv3n: hope that can help [00:19] wait [00:19] RyanPrior: ok, thanks [00:19] people want to put ubuntu on their gaming consoles? [00:19] Arv3n, i wonder if you even burnt the cd properly. [00:19] RyanPrior: looking for a guide [00:19] syntaxerror55: yeap [00:19] unagi: I think you need a modifier key to use with the mouse tilt for either firefox or switching desktops, otherwise you won't be able to switch desktops while in firefox [00:19] syntaxerror55: it's awesome i have dslinux (ubuntu) on my ds [00:19] loodjuret: Have you searched UbuntuForums.com?

I like it because I can surf the internet, etc. all from my DS [00:21] I'm using Pidgin, and I want to know how to highlight text with certain words [00:21] I browse with my Wii :) [00:21] Flare183: Often you can use the native OS from within the Linux OS, so there are no compatibility issues and you can still use the games. [00:21] McJerry, there's a plugin for this [00:21] I play games with my Wii.. Its all kinds of good times.. Beats that web surfin'.. [00:21] yes astro76 [00:21] RyanPrior: yeah your right [00:21] Is there a way i can restart all ubuntu settings and change it to defualt settings??? [00:21] unagi: ok add this to the end of imwheelrc http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51956/ [00:21] ok [00:21] greentea, you DONT want to do that [00:22] A new start for ubutnu setting [00:22] greentea: Back up your important data and reinstall. [00:22] but if you do want to take the risk... [00:22] all of that astro76? [00:22] all i have to is put the dslinux cart. into the gba slot and viola i have dslinux [00:22] greentea, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh -a [00:22] unagi: yeah that's what I use, plus your new section at the end [00:22] greentea, don't blame me if anything brakes [00:22] LiraNuna what that does [00:22] Liranuna, which pluggin, I browsed through all of them [00:22] greentea, sets everything to default [00:22] My computer automatically connects to my neighbors wireless network. How do I make it stop that? Kind of the equivalent of removing a preferred wireless network in Windows, except I'm on Ubuntu 7.10 [00:22] McJerry, highlight plugin [00:22] greentea, When you say Ubuntu settings, might you just mean Gnome? [00:22] greentea: Honestly, it breaks your system. The chances of it not screwing anything up are pretty slim. Reinstall is a better option, as long as you can back up the data you want to keep. [00:23] hey anyone ever install touchware drivers in ubuntu? [00:23] brb [00:23] unagi: after that restart x [00:23] Flare183, I still think it's kind of silly to install Linux on hardware other then computers at the moment -- especially gaming consoles, because you can't do the entended purpose AFAIK, play games. [00:23] !anyone | Gamma-X [00:23] Gamma-X: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?

[00:23] haha, nice one [00:23] syntaxerror55: nah, not when you can play the game and surf the web at the same time [00:23] liranuna, I don't have that one, can I download it? [00:23] ah the third one is solved ;) [00:23] For some reason, xfdesktop keeps segfaulting [00:23] McJerry, google [00:23] hello [00:23] McKayCR: I suggest googling it. [00:24] lol I am lookin to buy a touch screen monitor, the one I can get for 85 bucks is a dell e153fpt that uses 3m touchware drivers. lookin to see if anyone has had any issues. I here its a payne to setup [00:24] Is there a way i can restart all gnomw settings and change it to defualt settings??? [00:24] syntaxerror55: this comes in handy esp. when you need a walk through for a game [00:24] tshilp: boot/grub/menu.lst for the noapic [00:24] tshilp, system -> pref -> main menu -> find "Files options" [00:24] i dont know why it works astro76 and i dont care [00:24] gnome [00:24] thank you [00:24] want to tackle my next problem astro76?

It's basically linux with a DS emulator? [00:24] i need help on an atheros card if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it [00:24] Gamma-X: 3m hardware doesn't have great support usually. [00:24] synacktion, uh [00:24] greentea, logging in should recreate all of the default settings [00:25] spdf in terminal?

[00:25] greentea, deletes ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 [00:25] LiraNuna: oh yeah your can [00:25] !wtf | LiraNuna [00:25] LiraNuna: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly. [00:25] Flare183, oh really [00:25] LiraNuna: yeap [00:25] Flare183, I happen to be a DS developer [00:25] anyone help on atheros cards? [00:25] LiraNuna, dude, calm down. I really don't know what dslinux is, I heard about people putting Linux on gaming consoles and it baffled me as to why [00:26] greentea, might need to get ~/.gconf as well [00:26] LiraNuna: i'm serious i can like [00:26] RyanPrior well the drivers come from 3m in an rpm, for each individual kernel u think it should work? [00:26] using dslinux to "one screen to play" and another screen to use dslinux [00:26] is impossible [00:26] dslinux is based on uclinux [00:26] spdf so rm -fr ~/.gnome* first then deletes ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 then get ~/.gconf [00:26] Gamma-X: If you can buy the monitor with a 30-day money back guarantee (in a lot of states, you can), then go for it. [00:26] i helped create dslinux a few years back...wierd [00:26] LiraNuna: dude i'm a former hacker, i found ways and i can do it. In fact i can probaly do more [00:26] i had the idea for it with 2 other guys lol [00:26] so is DSlinux off=topic? [00:27] iN00DLE: yeah it is [00:27] !offtopic [00:27] Flare183, lets take it to PM [00:27] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [00:27] What are some reasons it may be advantageous to use i386 on a box with a 64 bit processor? [00:27] LiraNuna, i can just change the menu entries there [00:27] hello every body [00:27] nah better [00:27] LiraNuna, no, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic [00:27] tshilp, yes, find "File options" [00:27] I want to see where this is going [00:27] FYI - Adobe Flash Non-Free working out of the box? [00:27] greentea, Should be alright with ~/gnome*, but gconf holds a lot of application settings as well [00:27] can anyone help with an atheros card that i cant use to connect? [00:28] unagi: try mplayer, I know it offers a lot of advanced controls, though you will have to look up the keys ;) [00:28] !atheros | kurt [00:28] kurt: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:28] How do I stop my the wireless in my computer from automatically connecting to my neighbors network instead of MY network? [00:28] the live CD isnt starting X/Gui on my hardware.. I have tred boot:live noapic and it doesnt crash, but no graphis.. ends in a command line.. what else to read?? [00:28] gmplayer wont step back [00:28] gmplayer wont step back astro76 [00:28] timandtom: Hmm, I read how to do this the other day. Lemme look it up. [00:28] LiraNuna, and than? [00:28] unagi: maybe regular mplayer will work, dunno [00:28] timandtom, open gconf-editor in terminal [00:29] mplayer and gmplayer is the same thing is it not? [00:29] i need help on an atheros card if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it [00:29] tsairox, go to system -> preferences -> file options [00:29] there's an option to bypass "send to trash" [00:29] it'll add "delete" to file options [00:29] unagi: gmplayer is the gnome front end, so yeah basically [00:29] RyanPrior: Ok, thanks :D Much appreciated [00:29] timandtom, and go to system-networking-wireless and your neighbours key. Then delete all te values for that key [00:29] so then neither of them step back astro76 [00:29] i need help on an atheros card if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it [00:30] DerangedDelusion: Not working out of the box.. see topic [00:30] is there a room special for wirelss? [00:30] KenSentMe: Ok :D So now it should stop doing that? [00:30] !wifi [00:30] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [00:30] spdf so rm -fr ~/.gnome* nothing happen do i log off and log back in? [00:30] hi [00:30] greentea, Yes [00:30] timandtom, yeah, the key is deleted if it is empty [00:30] how to make ubuntu dual boot [00:31] !dualboot | chandoo [00:31] chandoo: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [00:31] timandtom: Two ideas: one, use the tool called nm_unset (http://www.kaarsemaker.net/software/nm_unset/) or use a command like gconftool-2 –recursive-unset /system/networking/wireless/networks/$ssid [00:31] greentea, Now that the files are gone, when you log in gnome will recreate what it needs as if it was your first login.. [00:31] KenSentMe: AWESOME, thanks. Thats been bugging me for a while, and I've tried quite a few times in here to get it fixed :D [00:31] right now installation is going on , but i dont see vista , like in fedora === schecky4 is now known as zapato [00:31] my taskbars and menu's have disappeared, i only see my desktop and files, can amyone help? [00:32] RyanPrior: Ah, thanks :D KenSentMe helped me through it though. gconf-editor in terminal, then find the wireless stuff and delete the keys :) [00:32] i need help on an atheros card if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it. please PM me [00:32] kurt, did you check the wireless documentation? [00:32] yes doesn't help me [00:33] timandtom: That's basically what the second command I gave does, and what the tool I linked to automates. Feel free to do it by hand with gconf-editor, though. :-) [00:33] then you're not following it properly [00:33] spdf it worked [00:33] greentea, Good stuff [00:33] greentea, I figured thats what you meant by Ubuntu [00:33] greentea, What went wrong before? [00:33] spdf there is one more thing that i need to default the sound settings and sound driver setings [00:33] julz: Have you tried restarting X? [00:34] KenSentMe, do you know alot about atheros cards that you could help me/ [00:34] greentea, System -> Preferences -> Sound... Check in there [00:34] spdf installed something and can't change it back [00:34] RyanPrior: Ah, cool, thanks :D But, yeh, it was easy enough to do with that command, it's just a matter of I didn't know the command before(I've only been on linux for, i dunno, 2 months? [00:34] spdf i try all sound driver. Not a single sounds coming out from the speaker [00:34] timandtom: You'll get good at this stuff. Keep on asking questions. :-) [00:34] kurt, no, sorry [00:34] RyanPrior: i'v tried new sessions but to no avail. I'm not sure how to use the recovery console :S [00:34] Hmm...for some reason, all of a sudden, my FireFox32 installation (on x86_64 Gutsy) keeps getting it's connections to just about every webpage reset... [00:35] julz: Indeed, the recovery console is no good unless you know how to troubleshoot or have a plan in mind. [00:35] greentea, Check your volume settings (right click the speaker and select Open Volume Control), make sure Master and PCM are turned up [00:35] spdf usually it works but not its like its mute or no sound. [00:35] RyanPrior: Haha :) Will do. [00:36] DerangedDelusion: Did you install flash.. and if so how did you do it.. [00:36] julz: You could try renaming ~/.gnome to ~/.gnome-buggy and try logging in again. Gnome will create new config files and maybe clean up the mess. [00:36] Jack_Sparrow using the 3 in 1 pack that I found on the Ubuntu website - it installed FireFox32, Flash 9, and Java 6, all at once [00:36] KenSentMe, could you help me? [00:37] ّ!help | could someone assist me with a dual boot installation? [00:37] spdf i did no luck [00:37] !flashissues [00:37] The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [00:37] I'm looking at running a server for thin clients, about 120 thin clients (devided into two servers), how much RAM do you think I need? [00:37] Grammaticus: There are lots of tutorials in Google and the forums. Do you need help with some specific step? [00:37] 60 clients per server [00:37] greentea, try 'cat /proc/asound/cards' from the terminal [00:37] RyanPrior: will that result in a loss of any files? or just the system ones being replaced? could you tell me where to find the file to rename? [00:37] im trying to find a way to view video files frame by frame forward and back anyone know how? [00:37] has anyone been able to get the compiz cube running with an ATI 200M? [00:37] spdf when i use live cd its no problem and when i reinstalled ubuntu no problem bt then [00:37] kurt, just tell this channel in what way it doesnt work and what you've tried to fix it, maybe someone has a solution [00:37] spdf ok wait [00:37] haha so thats why I couldn't install flash earlier [00:37] anyone know a good program for Ubuntu to play DVD's on? === Devo_ is now known as Devo [00:37] damn thing [00:37] RyanPrior, No, I suppose not. I am simply preparing to mount this partition manually. [00:38] RyanPrior, I will search the forums. [00:38] zapato: You might have better luck asking in #Compiz [00:38] indystorm: what side of town are you on? [00:38] julz: Only gnome's config files will be affected, not your own documents and so on -- and if that breaks things worse or doesn't help, you can just rename it back. The exact filename is ~/.gnome [00:38] spdf ok i see 0 for intel and the other 1 riptide === Ashes is now known as Mizrahi [00:38] how do i mount partitions that i can see as [00:38] is there a good place to go to find out more about irc? like if im looking for a channel to learn about spanish? [00:38] so hey I am using the im client with kubunto and when I logon to aim it does not populate my buddy list- any ideas? [00:38] jack_sparrow: ah, didnt think of that. thanks [00:38] np [00:38] greentea, So, you have two sound devices on that computer? [00:39] LeChacal: as what? [00:39] hi if i deleted a folder with shift + del, is there anyway to recover it? [00:39] Jack_Sparrow - According to that site, the bug no longer exists ;) - but I'm guessing that if it's fixed, I should be able to install flash on my firefox32 now? [00:39] Eyemean: check ~/.Trash [00:39] Jack_Sparrow: Err, on my Firefox64? [00:39] nope i deleted from there aswell [00:39] why can't I use my the university proxy for surfing in the web ? [00:39] every time I play a DVD in Ubuntu it has alot of noise and is impossible to watch [00:39] anyone know a good program to use that might fix this? [00:39] i need help on an atheros card if anyone can help me i'd appreciate it. please PM me [00:39] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51957/ <---- having major perl problems [00:39] Eyemean: Very difficult to get it back, then. ext3 is not nice to orphaned files. [00:39] DerangedDelusion: Per the topic of this channel.. it is still broken [00:39] spdf ya because one has every low sound which need a speaker with volume adjustment and the other one that don't need volume adjustment [00:40] it was actually on an ntfs parition === Monobi_ is now known as Monobi [00:40] ryanprior [00:40] Jack_Sparrow: Per that thread, edited today, the bug has now been solved, and the new packages have been built. [00:40] how how do i mount partitions that i can see as \dev\sdc2 ect ubuntu auto mounted \dev\sdc1 but i need sdc2 et 3 they were created under Geentoo but i dont know what filesystem they are [00:40] spdf one of them are inbuilted to the motherboard [00:40] spdf the intel . [00:40] Eyemean: In that case, you might want to mount that partition with Windows and use a file recovery program. Might be able to locate it. [00:40] LeChacal: what file system? ntfs? fat32? ext3? [00:41] Eyemean: Might be NTFS recovery programs available for Linux too, but I doubt they are as good or as many. [00:41] why can't I use my the university proxy for surfing in the web ? I'll get a timeout for every url. [00:41] LeChacal: oh try this sudo mkdir /media/sdc2;sudo mount -t auto /dev/sdc2 /media/sdc2 [00:41] yeah this is wat im trying to do, but problem is that windows not strting right so wanted to just restore the parition with recovery program, but it is corrupted [00:41] lol [00:41] LeChacal: though -t auto is same as specifying nothing i think [00:41] spdf is there a command to let it redetect the sound drive and that can play sound. Like when i reinstalled Ubuntu or when i put live cd [00:41] Anyone have a good screen capturing program for linux? [00:41] will try another recovery program, cheers [00:41] pike_ ill try that and report back thank you [00:41] RyanPrior: where is ~/.gnome? sorry but i'm still new to this all [00:41] FYI: ive heard good things of istanbul [00:42] FYI: prnt scr [00:42] !screencast | FYI [00:42] FYI: Some programs to capture your screen are Istanbul, Wink, Gvidcap, Xvidcap, vnc2swf, demorecorder.

[00:43] !seen nickrud [00:43] Sorry, I don't know anything about seen nickrud - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [00:43] julz: That's where it is. ~/.gnome is a literal file descriptor. [00:43] pike_ it says you must specify the filesystem type, which was i was trying to get around [00:43] kurt, dont repeat, please explain what is going wrong and what tried to fix it [00:43] oops [00:43] julz: ~/.gnome is the absolutely location of your gnome conf folder [00:43] * nickrud peeks in [00:43] LeChacal: look at it in fdisk maybe [00:43] anyone know how to change the port in pure-ftpd under gutsy?

Rename it, then log out and back in, and Gnome should create a new config folder for you. [00:46] i dont know what the heck happened but im about to give up on important windows apps to linux thats for sure [00:46] To present a rather 'newbie-esque' question : I'm attempting to mount a drive manually, a 10GB free partition. Should I mount this as an ext3? [00:46] RyanPrior: thanks ill give this a try then :) [00:46] Grammaticus: nope try vfat [00:47] Flare183: seriously ouch [00:47] nickrud: yeap [00:47] adub: what have you been doing to your system :) [00:47] nickrud: what was he doing anyway? [00:47] nickrud how my problem began is at the ending of my pastebin stuff [00:47] Grammaticus: You should mount it as whatever its format is. You can't just choose how to mount it.' [00:47] Flare183: last time it was wine ... [00:47] nickrud messing it up badly, lol [00:47] KenSentMe, i tried installing ndiswrapper and it only comes up invalid driver [00:47] Grammaticus: that'd be cool though [00:48] Grammaticus: but normally it is vfat [00:48] RyanPrior, or 'use it as' rather. Considering it's 'free' -- could I not choose whether or not it is FAT32 (If I wanted to share files between Windows, etc.)? [00:48] vfar -- I do not see this on the 'use as' option. [00:48] *vfat [00:48] Grammaticus: if you want everyone to have access you might as a simple example sudo mount -o umask=000 /dev/sdc1 /media/usb [00:48] Grammaticus: You mean, it's unformatted and you want to choose a format for it? [00:48] cant get this ubuntu laptop to turn the screen off in power saving mode. [00:48] any ideas [00:48] I made the changes in the gui [00:48] nickrud are you busy? [00:49] RyanPripr : Precisely. [00:49] Grammaticus: what does sudo fdisk -l show as the format of the partition [00:49] adub: forcing the removal of wine is one thing, perl ... [00:49] Jack_Sparrow: hows it going [00:49] Grammaticus: are youi at the installer choosing partitions? [00:49] Jack_Sparrow: I have a feeling it might not just be FireFox, though - during an apt-get just now, I kept getting "Connection Reset by Peer," (every 3 or 4 seconds) and I remember getting something similar occuring earlier during an FTP transaction, but it went away after a bit x.x [00:49] Grammaticus: Ah, that's called "formatting", not "mounting". Mounting is what you do once it's already formatted and ready to be used. [00:49] nickrud: try sudo apt-get --purge remove wine [00:49] nickrud forcing the removal of perl would wax my system [00:49] pike_: I am. [00:49] Grammaticus: use as might be the prompt for / or /home or whatever [00:49] Proxy not work ! Always timout ! What I can do ? [00:49] nickrud: then delete you .wine folder in your home folder [00:49] kurt, i dont have a solution, but this kind of information will get you more help in this channel than just saying you need help. [00:49] Flare183: no we did that last time, it took editing the postrm _and_ force-remove-reinstreq [00:49] thank you [00:50] DerangedDelusion: I was leaving.. not sure what all you have done using scripts from the forums... Hopefully someone will have an answer. [00:50] nickrud: ohh..... oh boy [00:50] Flare183: same symptoms though [00:50] Grammaticus: ext3 is the preferred file system format for most Linux systems, but if you're going to use this partition for Windows integration, you might want to choose FAT32 or NTFS. [00:50] nickrud: i see.... [00:50] nickrud: ummm.... [00:50] RyanPrior : No, I do not wish to do that -- therefore, ext3 it is. [00:51] Which was the default and the presumed type. [00:51] Flare183: but that's not gonna work with perl I don't think [00:51] Grammaticus: if there is a default it is ext3 [00:51] Grammaticus: It's the default because it's good for most purposes and a sane choice for most newbies. [00:51] Grammaticus: windows cant read ext3 without special driver though [00:52] nickrud: no it won't [00:52] And what should the 'mount point' be? [00:52] pike_: Speaking of which, for all the talk Microsoft does about Linux integration, they could at least bake ext3 support into NT. =D [00:53] Grammaticus: Do you want it to be your root partition? If not, just pick any folder where it would be useful. [00:53] adub: the only thing I know for sure is if I start messing deeply with perl there'll need to be a subsitute in place, probably a compiled version in local. [00:53] RyanPrior: Im back and it didnt seem to work. there's a new ~/.gnome folder but still no taskbars [00:53] Here's a seemingly simple question that I can't seem to find an answer to: How do I determine where windows open? At present, each window opens with its task bar above the main panel (thus requiring me to right-click and "move" it before being able to click and drag it) [00:53] Hey all === Mizrahi is now known as Aeleon [00:53] RyanPrior, Yes, I wish for it to be the root partition. [00:53] adub: and it's probably simpler and faster to reinstall. [00:53] lol [00:54] im trying to install from source [00:54] julz: In that case, we've eliminated the probability that it's Gnome conf files causing the problem. [00:54] reinstalling from source [00:54] reinstalling from dpkg did not wokr [00:54] Grammaticus: In that case, the mount point should be / (a single forward slash with nothing before or after it) [00:54] "windows has detected a ext3 filesystem - would you like to convert it to NTFS?" (Yes / Yes) [00:54] nickrud so far so good no errors [00:54] :) [00:54] * adub crosses fingers [00:55] Dr_willis: the chutzpah [00:55] nickrud i needed to kinda redo my entire system anyway [00:55] i just have a crap pile of stuff on it to redo [00:55] hi i need some help [00:56] RyanPrior: hmm, any ideas what else could do it? i have an external hdd that ubuntusays isn't removable but it was disconnected, could this be a cause? [00:56] when i play dvix movies online the play has like little lines in it [00:56] how can i get the lines out [00:56] adub: seriously, there's probably a lot of subtle problems that won't show up right away. I don't like saying reinstall but in your case it's wisest [00:56] julz: Shouldn't be. [00:56] For some reason. xfce's desktop keeps crashing [00:56] jason_123: You could try using VLC. [00:57] adub: and one piece of advice. Don't change stuff in outside /home and /usr/local without being absolutely sure about what you are doing [00:57] Hi, I am having a problem - it seems that my internet connection is dropping every few seconds (Connection reset by peer during APT-Get, and Connection was reset... in FireFox) - it was suggested that this may be due to Flash, though I doubt it. Any help with figuring out the reason behind this would be much appreciated (Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy x86_64) [00:57] jason_123: Or you could try using a low-latency kernel, but the stock kernel shouldn't be causing a lot of lines. [00:57] i can't get my atheros marvell card to work. ndiswrapper tells me that the driver is invalid [00:57] nickrud good advice [00:57] DerangedDelusion: Make sure you file a bug in Launchpad. That's a nasty one. [00:57] ill have to continue using my system as is until i can afford an enclusure and get a hard drive [00:58] i guess i live with it [00:58] ty [00:58] RyanPrior - No problem...though I find it weird that my IRC connection isn't dropping, though that might be cause it's not a static connection. === raising is now known as Sht4r [00:58] DerangedDelusion: Have you eliminated the possibility of a router problem? [00:59] i have a question before instaling linux for the first time [00:59] RyanPrior, How much should I allot as 'swap space'? -- 256MB? [00:59] LiraNuna, How do i take a screenshot of both desktops as one? [00:59] Proxy not work ! Always timout ! What I can do ? Should enable referer ? [00:59] Gekkomon_Shogun: You came to the right place. Ask away. :-) [00:59] How do I take a screenshot of a multiple monitor setup? [00:59] : I/O error occured [00:59] Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted. [00:59] ^^^^^^^^^^whats that mean if i can play the video im trying to convert just fine [00:59] RyanPrior - Yes - my windows box has no similar symptoms whatsoever [00:59] Grammaticus: The conventional wisdom is double the amount of RAM you have, but not more than 4GB. [01:00] will i need to mess with GRUB because i really dont know what that is [01:00] DerangedDelusion: Does it happen on a LiveCD? [01:00] helo [01:00] =) [01:00] I am trying to install emerald, and I've got all the packages installed, but even when I run emerald --replace, there are still no window decorations [01:00] RyanPrior - haven't tried a LiveCD yet [01:00] Gekkomon_Shogun: You will probably not have to mess with GRUB. It should be configured for you automatically during installation. [01:00] Gekkomon_Shogun: no, grub (except in exceptional circumstances) does everything automatically [01:01] RyanPrior: what would the taskbar's be called? are they part of nautalis, like the taskbars in windows are part of explorer? [01:01] julz: It's called gnome-panel, I believe. [01:01] so vista wont change anything [01:01] thanks [01:01] does the ssh that comes with ubuntu have X11 forwarding enabled by default? [01:01] julz, perhaps .gnome2? === ^A^kira is now known as ^A^way [01:01] Gekkomon_Shogun: grub found my vista and gave me the option of booting it automatically [01:02] RyanPrior - if it helps any or means anything, I recently installed kubuntu-desktop, and I have both ubuntu-desktop and kubuntu-desktop co-existing - and it was shortly after that that I started to have this problem [01:02] grekkos__: If not, it should be very easy to install. [01:02] LiraNuna, is it possible to use xinerama? [01:02] how do i check the version number of a nic module i have running ? [01:02] RyanPrior: is there a package for it on the repositories do you know? If not i could just compile a new one [01:02] RyanPrior, now, will the swap drive be a 'logical' drive? [01:03] DerangedDelusion: Well, I usually like my computer less when KDE stuff and Gnome stuff is all mixed up on it, but I've never had or heard of network problems caused by the mix. [01:03] trying to enable nvidia drivers in the restricted drivers manager, and i get an error message. Can someone help please? [01:03] Grammaticus: I think it has to be, yes. [01:03] does ubuntu use usplash or splashy in the latest version of ubuntu (7.10 desktop edition)? [01:03] Grammaticus: Technically, you create a logical drive and the swap goes inside that logical drive. [01:04] zamfir: Have you tried googling the error message? [01:04] kaxi: It uses usplash [01:04] RyanPrior - Oh believe me - if apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop would get rid of everything that it put on, I'd definitely do it - I just wanted to see how kubuntu looked, and didn't think about just getting a livecd [01:04] should i be safe to switch eth1 and eth0 in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net-rules and have the remote person switch the cables ? [01:05] DerangedDelusion: tried apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop? (though, *look* at what it's going to remove before hitting Y) [01:05] RyanPrior, Therefore, the ext3 should be a logical and the swap placed therein? [01:05] Or is the swap created as an individual drive? [01:05] spdf: do youmean change the name of that to get it replaced as well? [01:06] Grammaticus: Nope, the ext3 isn't logical. It can be, but doesn't have to be. [01:06] Grammaticus: swap is an individual drive. [01:06] LjL - The following packages will be REMOVED: kubuntu-desktop; That's it [01:06] All right -- therefore, all is prepared well. [01:06] Grammaticus: It's like a hard-drive extension to your RAM. Windows calls it "virtual RAM", Linux calls it swap. [01:07] DerangedDelusion: uhm, remove kubuntu-desktop, then try "sudo apt-get autoremove" alone [01:07] LjL - 0 to remove. [01:07] weird [01:07] All right, I understand. And as for the 'beginning / end' option -- should I have designated either of the two as 'end'? [01:07] hello all. i seem to be having a werid problem. when i use frostwire for lets say 15-20 minuets my keyboard stops working.no buttons work. then when i logout it just hangs at a black screen....i have to hold down the power button and hard reset the computer. im using a dell inspiron 5100 laptop. i cant seem to find any info on this. [01:07] ^RyanPrior [01:07] hello [01:07] LjL - But I'm more worried about my network problems than getting rid of KDE anyway x.x [01:07] What is a good personall callendar/TODO ; with easy sinchronization option (prefferably also synchronizing while a filesystem shared between boxes with ssh/sshfs and/or sftp)? [01:08] Grammaticus: I'm not sure about that one. I'd just tend to keep the default. [01:08] what would be a sane way to kick off cron.daily right now? [01:08] RyanPrior spdf: got it! i made a launcher to get into terminal, and typed gnome-panel, and its back. if i need this in a startup script, where would i put it? [01:08] All right -- tant mieux. [01:08] LimCore: Evolution has tons of integration features. Tons and tons and tons and tons. =P [01:08] julz, gnome should start it by default [01:08] DerangedDelusion: about the connection, try removing knetworkmanager [01:09] LimCore: you should consider an imap store for your mail, makes syncing trivial [01:09] spdf: yes but that was the problem, it wasnt starting it up [01:09] julz: It's wierd that Gnome isn't starting it by default! [01:09] julz: Check dmesg and see if it's running into trouble on startup. [01:09] LjL - Package knetworkmanager is not installed, so not removed. [01:09] DerangedDelusion: and about KDE, don't despair, there are packages you can remove that will likely remove just about everything KDE. also, you can consult /var/log/dpkg.log to see what was installed [01:09] nickrud: I reafer (for now) ssh/sshfs based solution [01:09] *prefer [01:09] LimCore: plus you can experiment with several email clients without having to worry about migrating your mail [01:10] hmm [01:10] anybody willing to help me use a dvd writer? i have it installed and it can play dvd's just fine. but if i go to write a divd it says "Pleas insert correct format disk, CD-RW or CD-R". my drive says DVD-RW on it so i know it can burn DVD's. any ideas? thanks in advance [01:10] Ryanprior: woah! i just closed the terminal and the panel left with it! [01:10] vanberge: What program are you using? [01:10] LjL - how about KNetworkConf? [01:10] DerangedDelusion: well then i don't know, but assuming it was caused by something installed by kubuntu-desktop, try removing kdelibs4c2a and kdelibs4 for a start [01:11] julz: That's because gnome-panel was tied to the terminal. [01:11] julz: Try running it in the background [01:11] DerangedDelusion: you may also want to save your current /var/log/dpkg.log to make it easier to later refer to what was installed [01:11] RyanPrior, should I name the machine, 'Mulciber' or 'Iapetus'? [01:11] julz, alt-f2, gnome-terminal [01:11] RyanPrior, just the nautilus built in [01:11] Grammaticus: Totally up to you! [01:11] vanberge: I've had a similar problem in the past from poor grade DVD-Rs, returned them, got a better grade (Not that there are many GREAT grades around) and it worked fine after that. [01:11] i often get this error when printing pdf or large files... anyone know why http://pastebin.org/15414 [01:11] RyanPrior, all right. Iapetus it is. [01:12] is there a command that will run another command after a set amount of time has passed? [01:12] marshall: sleep [01:12] marshall: sleep number && do-something [01:12] spdf: do i click run in terminal? [01:12] julz, no [01:12] ok [01:12] thanks [01:12] ok [01:12] marshall: i'm second guessing you here, but you may also want to check out cron and your crontab... [01:12] !cron > marshall (marshall, see the private message from Ubotu) [01:13] OK, I don't exactly understand what widgets are... but: Would it be possible for me to create widgets that I could use instead of desktop icons (thus allowing me to have 4 different sets of icons, one for each side of the desktop cube)? Or is it otherwise yet possible to have different icons on different sides of the cube? The forums seem to agree that the answer to the latter is "no." [01:13] marshall: also cron [01:13] ouwt.flv: I/O error occured [01:13] Usually that means that input file is truncated and/or corrupted. [01:13] ..................but i can view the video [01:13] BinaryFu, but i have memorex. does it get better?? :-P [01:13] Will the system cease if I remove the Live CD? I believe that I have to clean this damnèd drive. [01:13] OMG jez. [01:13] hey an app (any0 is saying it's loading but is failing to execute, why? [01:13] where do i find the version number of a module that is loaded ? [01:13] LjL - Wow, that looks like a good way to remove KDE itself (removing kdelibs4c2a [01:14] Grammaticus: As far as I know, you should be able to remove the CD, clean the drive, put it back in, and resume. [01:14] thanks guys, but i wanted to run 'xprop|grep WM_CLASS|cut -d\" -f2' after a few seconds so that i would have enough time to open the main menu and use the crosshair to select it [01:14] DerangedDelusion: yes. [01:14] vanberge: Memorex were the ones that screwed me up...damned purple colored things. I generally stick with Verbatims at the minimum. They seem to work for the most part, even if they are blue. [01:14] but it said it couldnt grab the mouse [01:14] can i fix that anyhow? [01:14] Grammaticus: Just don't do that during system install or partitioning or anything like that! [01:14] limac: what app is it? [01:15] google earth sometimes [01:15] w00t @ http://www.darkreading.com/document.asp?doc_id=140514&f_src=drdaily [01:15] and sometimes (u know any application basically) [01:15] RyanPrior: I am in evolution... but I dont see any option to synchronize (except to palmtop) [01:15] RyanPrior, oh no -- it has failed already dye to a filthy disc drive. [01:15] Question: I installed a Metacity Theme, but there is no theme for the taskbar or 'Controls' as Appearance Preferance calls it. Where would I find a skin for my taskbar? [01:15] spdf RyanPrior: how do i run it in the background. also where in the dmesg output would i see if its falling on startup? [01:15] limac: perhaps do a memcheck [01:15] *due [01:15] spdf thanks it worked ^_^ === Mizrahi is now known as Aeleon [01:15] how? [01:15] greentea, Your sound? [01:15] spdf ya [01:15] greentea, Glad to hear ;) [01:15] Grammaticus: darn. Time to give it a clean and try again. :-) [01:15] spdf esp pcm-2 [01:16] got to turn that up [01:16] h1st0: how can i do that? [01:16] LjL - I hate to second-guess you, but I was thinking...if I were to grab a packet sniffer, and see what the heck's going on when I try to hit a website...cause it seems really weird that KDE would somehow affect my network connection in GNOME, when GNOME shouldn't be loading any of KDE's libraries, or at least not the networking ones [01:16] julz: Alt+F2 can be used to run in background, or you can put a & symbol after a terminal command to run in background. [01:16] greentea, Happens all the time. Some application changes PCM, while others change Master. [01:16] limac: reboot and hit esc at the grub menu. Memtest will be on the of the options on the list. You can select it with the arrow keys and hit enter [01:16] greentea, Best thing to check first [01:16] julz: And as to the dmesg question, you just gotta scroll through it and see if you find anything interesting. [01:16] So, compiz comes with ubuntu 7.10 by default... is it packaged with a settings manager for it, or do I have to get that myself? [01:16] !memtest > limac, limac Read the private message from ubotu. [01:16] BTW, just out of curiosity, has anyone tried out Virtual Box? [01:16] BinaryFu: yes [01:16] h1st0; this time it was actually chatzilla [01:16] BinaryFu: its quite nice [01:17] !ccsm | FYI [01:17] FYI: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion [01:17] RyanPrior: I am in evolution... but I dont see any option to synchronize (except to palmtop) ;) [01:17] RyanPrior: thanks :) [01:17] h1st0: Isn't it? I'm seriously impressed, I'm like, "VMWare what?" [01:17] FYI it will take a little effort ... [01:17] limac: yeah maybe you have some hardware issues. What version of ubuntu are you using? [01:17] BinaryFu: I have it. [01:17] h1st0: gutsy [01:17] BinaryFu: Yeah I couldn't believe how well it was done. [01:17] LimCore: It might be in a plugin or patch or something. [01:17] limac: yeah definately run a memtest eliminate your ram as a problem. [01:17] how to start vino from the terminal? [01:17] I have all plugs enabled [01:17] FYI: enjoy. :-) [01:17] h1st0: celeron proc 1.5gib ram [01:17] darkblue_B: type vino [01:17] :P [01:18] RyanPrior: plugin to export to filesystem? or what? [01:18] The only issue I have with it is using the CTRL+L, it seems to try to spaz and keep the background to itself sometimes. [01:18] h1st0: command not found.. [01:18] hiyas [01:18] BinaryFu: I'm sure it will get much better with each version. [01:18] DerangedDelusion: yes it's weird enough, but given that you want KDE removed anyway, and that it seems to be the only change you made to your system, i figured you'd try that first. running a sniffer or something... sure, why not. i'd also keep a "ping www.google.com" running for some time and see what happens, and something like « grep eth /var/log/messages » wouldn't hurt. i'm partial against network-manager, also [01:18] LimCore: You would have to look around and see if you can find something that does what you want. [01:18] spdf where do you know these stuff do you experiment with linux? [01:18] That's what I'm thinking. [01:18] darkblue_B: ahh is it a vnc server or somethign? [01:18] y [01:19] darkblue_B: try /etc/init.d/vino start [01:19] greentea: We learn a lot just by sitting in here and helping solve people's problems. [01:19] aha [01:19] darkblue_B: maybe it has a startup script or something. [01:19] im having trouble playing a wmv HD movie file ... avidemux will open it, but so far i can only play it in Kaffeine, and it only renders the sound, not the video. [01:19] darkblue_B: you will need sudo infront of that. [01:19] greentea: It's a great way to become acquainted with the Ubuntu system. [01:19] darkblue_B: sudo /etc/init.d/vino restart [01:19] scarlet^^: Do you have win32codecs installed, etc? [01:20] darkblue_B: I suggest using invoke-rc.d instead of /etc/init/whatever [01:20] vino runs on this machine.. just booted headless.. am in , but nothing called vino in init.d [01:20] greentea: I started asking questions in this channel to solve my problems. Now from time to time I pop in just to help others out with stuff i've learned along the way. [01:20] BinaryFu, i believe so, how can i check? [01:20] LjL - grep eth /var/log/messages isn't really saying anything of any relevance - just the negotiations from when I rebooted my computer, and that's it. [01:21] darkblue_B: well it has to start somehow. I'm sure there is documentation online. [01:21] Ryanprior but the u need knowledge, is there a ebooks or anyway lesson sites or [01:21] h1st0: looking... [01:21] scarlet^^: 3 ways, CLi by using apt-get, going into Applications - Add/Remove or Synaptic (my personal fave) found in System - Admin - Synaptic Package Manager. [01:21] greentea: You learn by reading online, asking in the channel and on the forums, helping friends, and so on. === mileszs13_ is now known as mileszs [01:21] RyanPrior: now i know ho wto get it back, how do i get it to start every session? [01:21] BinaryFu, all win32 are installed (synaptic) [01:21] greentea: there are tons of sites about basic linux knowledge etc... just google and you will find a lot. [01:21] I want to test how well all the junk in /etc/cron.daily runs together. Is there a sane way to fire off the entire thing so I can simulate a run [01:22] ? [01:22] greentea: There is an Ubuntu book that you can but, it is very good and has lots of knowledge that is easy to read and learn. [01:22] greentea: the forums are another resource [01:22] greentea: That you can buy * [01:22] julz: Does it require sudo to start? [01:22] LjL - I'll be right back, phone call. [01:22] scarlet^^: Okay, and what program are you wanting it to play in? [01:22] darkblue_B: thats truc it could be using rc.d [01:22] Is there an alternative to ndiswrapper? [01:22] gconftool ?? [01:22] darkblue_B: s/truc/true [01:22] nano__, native drivers [01:22] I am looking for a way to have different icons on each of the faces of the desktop cube. It seems that this is not possible in the conventional sense. Could I instead make widgets for each function I want and put them on the various faces of the cube? Can somebody help me with this? I have never worked with widgets before. [01:22] ok that good start for me [01:22] thank [01:23] darkblue_B: thats to configure gconf [01:23] greentea: gconftool-2 –recursive-unset /system/networking/wireless/networks/$ssid [01:23] nano__, either Linux-based drivers, or ndiswrapper. Nothing else. [01:23] BinaryFu, any that will handle it, im not fussy. VLC, totem, mplayer, all open it, then crash, and Kaffeine will play audio only [01:23] greentea: Disregard that. I meant to paste http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0132435942/interactiveda467-20 [01:23] I am trying to install emerald, and I've got all the packages installed, but even when I run emerald --replace, there are still no window decorations. does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? [01:23] h1st0: it syays thats how you start and stop it... [01:23] I'm having trouble finding the drivers i need for ndiswrapper [01:23] nano__, have you visited ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net? [01:23] scarlet^^: And you have ubuntu-restricted-codecs installed as well, I'm assuming. [01:23] yes [01:23] RyanPrior thanks [01:24] Errr, should read ubuntu-restricted-extras [01:24] RyanPrior: im not sure what youmean.. i havent typed it to get the panel back though [01:24] RyanPrior what does ubuntu hacks does? [01:24] greentea: Have fun, good luck learning the ropes. :-) [01:24] darkblue_B: with what gconf? [01:24] i think so ... all medibuntu are installed [01:24] nano__, I'm only here for a second, but let me see if I can give you a push towards the road of success. ;) [01:24] pretty sure anyway [01:24] nano__, what's your card name? [01:24] ok, thanks [01:24] umm [01:24] gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote-access/enabled true [01:24] julz: In that case, add it to sessions. (System -> Preferences -> Sessions) [01:25] BinaryFu, other wmv are all fine tho, just the HD ones are giving me grief :) [01:25] intel corp. 82801g ? [01:25] darkblue_B: hrm.. maybe someone else would know more than I about it. [01:25] scarlet^^: Well, I usually give xine-ui a try, because I'm a die hard fan of the beast that most of the are made from...but you can basically right click on the file and tell it to open with... [01:25] scarlet^^: Ahhh... [01:25] darkblue_B: sounds like its controlled under services System > Administration > Services. [01:25] i belive the PCID is 8086:27a2 [01:25] connection refused [01:25] ??? [01:25] scarlet^^: Hmmm...let me see if I can find a site that has one, so I can try to open it with the old pit bull. [01:26] it was on last boot [01:26] BinaryFu, installing xine-ui now [01:26] is firestarter not recommended for ubuntu or should I stick with shorewall [01:26] I am trying to install emerald, and I've got all the packages installed, but even when I run emerald --replace, there are still no window decorations. does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? [01:26] ablyss: Unless you're running a server, it's doubtful that you need a firewall. Linux's built-in firewall rules are pretty strict. [01:27] is there a command to hide icons on the desktop? i know there is a variable in nautilus configuration, but id like to make a hotkey for it or something [01:27] neeto: Install Compiz Fusion instead. That's supported in Ubuntu. [01:27] scarlet^^: I'm going to dl one directly from MS. [01:27] BinaryFu, xine-ui crashes like the rest of them [01:27] scarlet^^: Okay, give me a few minutes to see if it's you, or if it's the HD WMV files in general. [01:27] darkblue_B: ahh vino is installed by default. [01:27] is there a way to play dvd's that are copied to the hard drive using this method https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#dvdplayback ? [01:28] ok cheers ;)) [01:28] RyanPrior: I've installed compiz-fusion, but since I need a window decorator for it, I installed emerald as well... neither work. [01:28] darkblue_B: it should be running on startup but the settings are based on vino-preferences and stored in yoru gconf. System > Preferences > Remote Desktop will controll vino [01:28] RyanPrior: i run httpd and ssh, but have ssh configured on hosts.deny so not much to worry about there. Also run postfix but its pretty safe just annoying to watch the sys log fill up with stmpd rejects [01:29] s/stmpd/smtp [01:29] ablyss: Well, any configurator for iptables ought to be able to do firewall things, if you need a GUI for control over your chains. [01:29] hist0: I am lookng at the gconf file [01:29] darkblue_B: looks like vino-session is called on startup. [01:30] enabled is true [01:30] darkblue_B: and if you ps aux | grep vino you will see its running. [01:30] but connection is refused === mileszs13_ is now known as soyunperdedor [01:30] RyanPrior: sessions doesn't want to open for me, and when i try to log out, i say quit, but that just quits the panel! haha, any ideas? [01:30] darkblue_B: did you edit the settings in System > Preferences > Remote Desktop? [01:30] nano__: sorry about that [01:30] *.rm (real media video) files are giving me hassles too ..... realplayer 10 will play them, but sound is jittery... other player will play sounds only... anyone familiar with this problem ? [01:30] nano__: back now [01:30] RyanPrior: i'm also running xientd instead of inetd.. you think that's okay? [01:30] julz: It sounds absolutely bizairre. [01:30] its ok [01:30] whats the command to list harddrives? [01:30] nano__: what's your card name again? [01:31] ablyss: I don't know. [01:31] Doonz: df [01:31] hist0: nope, just the grep itself.. not vino ?? [01:31] thnx [01:31] Doonz: sudo fdisk -l [01:31] ablyss: that will list mounted partitions, not actual hardware drives, though. [01:31] df will list mounted drives only.. [01:31] scarlet^^: It'll be a few, apparently the intarweb is running low on fuel because my DLs are sucking fleshy extensions. [01:31] beat me too it mneptok :) [01:31] darkblue_B: Go to System > Preferences > Remote Desktop enable it and then try to connect [01:32] RyanPrior: haha it does hey. i think i might just upgrade to gutsy, and in the meantime get used to this [01:32] hist0: I am in on the command line only, on a headless machine, y? [01:32] im thinking its intel Corp. 82801g.... but i thinh that the pcid is 8086:27a2 if that helps [01:32] thanks for ur help:) [01:32] hello... [01:32] BinaryFu, no probs :) there is a 16mb HD there called robotica ... smallest i saw [01:32] think* [01:32] darkblue_B: ahh. can you forward X from the machine? [01:32] how can I tell whether my wireless card has native or ndiswrapper support [01:32] may i ask a very but i mean VERY stupid question? [01:32] hist0: dont know how to do that [01:33] nano__: OK, lemme take a look around [01:33] aexis: asking to ask a question is pretty strange heh [01:33] scarlet^^: Location? [01:33] i want to stop some processes from being loaded each time i open a session [01:33] hist0: I am on a mac [01:33] Roger_The_Bum: you can always remove ndiswrapper and see if it still works [01:33] ablyss: thanks [01:33] ok [01:33] 2secs ill find [01:33] aexis: which ones? [01:33] RyanPrior, success. [01:34] yeah, but I don't want to [01:34] darkblue_B: hrm... let me see if I can find where it stores its config hold up [01:34] aexis: go to sys --> admin --> session then to the sttart up apps. see if you can unckeck it there. [01:34] aexis: open System >> Preferences >> Sessions and you disable Startup programs [01:34] evolution, beagle, bonovo, screensaver [01:34] hist0: I may need to type in the password and user on a keyboard to start the session [01:34] is there a way to play dvd's that are copied to the hard drive using this method https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html#dvdplayback ? [01:34] hist0: I am fortunately able to physicallyy get to the box [01:35] hist0: this time.. trying the keybd now [01:35] how do i recover forgotten nickserv password? [01:35] bulmer: any method less drastic [01:36] user01: ask for help on #freenode [01:36] hey ppls, i dled mozilla, now when i open a link in the irc, the links open in mozilla instead of firefox.. what did i do wrong?? i want FF to be default [01:36] nano__: what's the name of your laptop? [01:36] Acer Aspire 5601 [01:36] LjL - I ran a packet sniffer, and sadly I couldn't copy/paste from it, and now the problems vanished for a little while - but it showed ALOT of RST packets being sent to my computer from various IP addresses [01:36] jvai: Just go into Firefox and tell it to be the default browser. [01:36] ablyss: thanks, i did it now... [01:36] hi [01:36] jvai: system->prefs->preferred apps [01:36] darkblue_B: okay well gconftool-2 -s -t bool /desktop/gnome/remote_access/enabled true [01:37] Odd-rationale: thanks to you too [01:37] DerangedDelusion: have you angered someone? :) [01:37] aexis: np [01:37] i'd like some help getting my graphics card to work (nVidia GeForce 6200 OC) is there anyone here who can help me? [01:37] nicjrud, did that before the question, & FF is already the default [01:37] nickrud, did that before the question, & FF is already the default [01:37] rolobio: Have you enabled the restricted drivers? [01:37] nano__: per my research, your wireless is using the module ipw3945 [01:38] jvai: then give BinaryFu 's suggestion a try [01:38] darkblue_B: if you can get to the physical box with a head the GUI would be the easiest way. I can't find how to enable a password through the gconftool [01:38] nano__: that's the driver name... now... to see how to load it... [01:38] s/ot/or/ [01:38] whoops [01:38] How come I can't extract a .rar? [01:38] i tried to go to restricted drivers to enable the driver, but it says "Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers" but i can't start up my system with the graphics card in because it freezes [01:38] FF is already the default [01:38] LjL - I dont' know - but I just went to one of the IP addresses in firefox, and it resolved to www.digg.com x.x [01:38] !help | Does anyone know anything at all about dial-up configuratioin?

[01:39] jvai: hm. you mentioned irc, do normal web pages open in firefox [01:39] Devo: np [01:39] welcome Maldizbit [01:39] rolobio: it should work unless you ahve some black market nvidia.

[01:40] LjL - and another resolves to Yahoo! - so it's actually starting to look like someone's hitting my computer with a DDoS attack, though I'm not quite sure how they could be hitting just my computer as opposed to my whole network x.x [01:40] nickrud: I need ur help Badly.. [01:40] welcome Darkmystere [01:40] nickrud yes, but when i tried a link in here, mozilla opened, instead of FF.. strange! [01:40] Darkmystere: happens a lot - it's always busy around these parts [01:40] i'll give you a link so you can take a look... [01:40] !nvidia > rolobio, rolobio Read the private message from ubotu. [01:40] Darkmystere: Nobyd welcomes me either. [01:40] Darkmystere: who are you? ;) [01:40] javaJake just checked and my wifi uses the same module...and that is the name so that command should work. [01:40] jvai: what irc client are you using? [01:40] th0r: I'm talking to nano__ about his card. :) [01:40] Odd-rationale: its My Dark-Mystere =) [01:40] i just can't get over the cube 4 desktops malarky... whoever wrote that bit of code deserves a small medal imo. [01:40] no response after i entered the password, how do i check to see if the driver is installed again? [01:41] xchat. @ nickrud. [01:41] sorry, first night with linux [01:41] javaJake yup...just offering a little support [01:41] Maldizbit: talk to the compiz folks. :) [01:41] Odd-rationale: i can't unchekc the screensaver, do you have any idea? [01:41] th0r: haha, thanks. :D [01:41] Darkmystere: lol, I'm not ignoring you :) [01:41] compiz folks? who are they? [01:41] yes i know i've tried that already but i can't start up my system with the card in. [01:41] nickrud: Well.. I need HELP Badd im acctually on windows and ubuntu channel its soo diffrent... Well [01:41] Maldizbit: The people who made it. :) [01:41] Maldizbit: in fact, the shadows around your windows, the fancy close/open effects, the minimize effects, all that is done by Compiz [01:41] aexis: There is no entry for screensaver, correct? [01:41] Maldizbit: in case you didn't know. ;) [01:41] jvai: but opening a link in, say your email client opens in firefox? [01:41] Odd-rationale: i've a very old pc with ONLY 256 RAM...so i desperately NEED to stop loading all the small apps that i never use [01:41] nickrud, i went to xchat's settings, but i didnt see the settings for it's browser [01:41] i guessed that! but who are they, where do they chat (freenode, i hope?) [01:41] Odd-rationale: , correct [01:42] nickrud: i left my computer on a plastic like cover well silky a labtop and it overheated and then obviously it Force Shutdown not too good on my install... [01:42] aaahh, i havent try that yet! @ nickrud [01:42] aexis: Actually, I think that is part of gnome-power-manager. [01:42] Maldizbit: I dunno, they're programmers...do programmers actually chat? [01:42] nickrud: now as u can guess file not found so i go and run chkdsk /f [01:42] jvai: let me know [01:42] i know a programmer, he chats... not sure about the rest of them though [01:42] Odd-rationale: aNd if i terminate/kill gnome power manager, will my pc be shut down? [01:43] aexis: No, you just won't have stuff like battery monitor, and power saver prefs [01:43] nickrud.. ok.. evolution opens FF with links. WHEEEW [01:43] nickrud: and it finds the files ok so i go into windows looking for the files now im in live cd i can see the files but i cant get them so windows can see.. i can only see them in ubuntu.. [01:43] BinaryFu: you chat to some here, they just don't say they are [01:43] javajake did you see my last message? [01:43] here is my card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814143040 [01:43] DerangedDelusion: may want to have a look at http://www.newartisans.com/blog_files/tricks.with.iptables.php - search for "drop excessive RST". you may also want to ask freenode staff a cloak for your hostname. [01:43] Maldizbit: Id' start in #compiz-fusion probably [01:43] xchat, is the culprid [01:43] nano__: possibly not... [01:43] Odd-rationale: which, taking in count is a desktop PC, will not make any freaking diff, isn't that right? [01:43] nickrud: So im left with 28GB left... and 2 Fragmented file system failiers anyhelp? [01:44] nickrud: I know. :P But that smartassed comment always stirs them up...unless they're busy shaving their teeth or bashing more code. ;) [01:44] thanks soyunperdedor [01:44] Darkmystere: install explore2fs in windows, it will read your ubuntu files [01:44] BinaryFu: hahahha [01:44] aexis: Not too much, i would think. You're plugged in all the time anyways. [01:44] nano__: if you say my name before you talk to me (like I do for you) it highlights those messages so I see them better in the crowd [01:44] i was wondering how do i confirm that the driver is installed as i havent seen anything after i entered my password [01:44] nano__: did you run that command? [01:44] nickrud: Originally i had 70Gb.... [01:44] I have nothing but love for them, they rock. [01:44] nano__: oh, then it worked. :) [01:44] lol. mozilla hijacked my xchat!!! [01:44] nano__:lsmod | grep ipw [01:44] laterz all [01:44] Darkmystere: sounds like you might have screwed your hard drive, I don't know [01:44] how big is explore2fs? [01:44] th0r: heheh, thanks, good idea [01:45] jvai: a sec [01:45] thanks [01:45] javaJake magic incantation...astounds the new guys [01:45] i got eclipse from the repos.. & it needed mozilla i dont kno why [01:45] how do i connect to a wireless network now? [01:45] nickrud: Also they wont defrag... well if and when i fix this guess what here comes lublin All partion 30GB Linux 40Gb Windows lol [01:45] nano__: upper-right corner there's a wireless tool [01:45] nano__: it should list out the wireless networks around [01:45] Similar to some of the tools found in here. [01:45] ^_^ [01:45] Odd-rationale: is there anything ELSE i can kill without loosing any data nor config? [01:46] i have a via nic on a ubuntu box going at the amazing speed of 512kbps... grrr [01:46] AussieHatter: Is that b or B? [01:47] b [01:47] :( [01:47] AussieHatter: Eeeeewwwwwwww.... [01:47] That's just wrong. [01:47] yes... [01:47] jvai: try sudo update-alternatives --config www-browser [01:47] I am playing with screenlets and i opened more than one mailcheck widget. If i disable or quit or any of that all of them disappear and no matter what I do if I enable it again two of them come up! how can i fix this [01:47] javaJake: on the bar? i dont see it, this is Ubuntu 6.06 if that makes a difference [01:47] aexis: Are you using gnome? If you want low resource usage, i would reccomend using fluxbox. you can install it on top of your gnome install and choose which between them. [01:47] ok i'm going to put my problem on here, i apologize if its long... [01:47] AussieHatter: Did you remember to sacrifice a chicken before you set up your network? [01:47] I've tried two different nVidia graphics card and my system freezes at startup on the third line of "the worm" on the Ubuntu startup screen. The two cards are: nVidia GeForce FX5200 PCI, and nVidia GeForce 6200 OC PCI. I recently bought the 6200 thinking maybe my 5200 was broken. Does anyone know of any tutorials on how to set up these cards? I've looked and lots of tutorials and websites but can't seem to find an answer to this problem. [01:47] Heres what I've been trying to do: [01:47] Install and enable the restricted driver for nVidia graphics cards withthe Restricted Drivers manager. But a popup comes up telling me: "Yourhardware does not need any restricted drivers." but if I put my card inthe system freezes... if I can't enable the driver without the card inhow can I install and enable the driver?? [01:47] nano__: yes, that would make a difference. :) [01:47] LjL - will do - any point in looking at the logs from a packet sniffer? Because I was just able to get some. [01:47] jvai: if it's not mozilla, just leave it be, there's a couple others to check [01:47] nickrud: Apprently windows hates that i like ubuntu better then windows === w0ng is now known as SR71-Blackbird [01:48] ok @ nickrud.. copying & pasting from here to shell [01:48] !pastebin | rolobio [01:48] Darkmystere: nah, your laptop hated that counter [01:48] rolobio: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [01:48] InGunsWeTrust, that'd be under the properties when you right click the screenlet in question [01:48] instead of the context menu [01:48] nano__: the latest version of Ubuntu is much better, but we'll go ahead and use what you've got. Open System -> Administration -> Networking [01:48] Odd-rationale: itried Xfdce, and it was MORE resources that it eat the bastard.... [01:48] ok thank you... [01:48] nano__: you'll see your wireless stuff there. Self-explanatory, but ask if you have any problems [01:48] Odd-rationale: i'm on Xubuntu/Ubuntu now [01:48] rolobio: Sorry but that was a mouth full lol [01:48] aexis: Fluxbos is light. I promise. [01:49] hey can someone help me with my linux printing? [01:49] I got a question im trying to setup pure-ftpd under ssh to a ubuntu server and was wondering if anyone could help me configure it? [01:49] rolobio: I did it once also its fine [01:49] nope soorry, it's B [01:49] !printing [01:49] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[01:49] Im trying to figure out how to change port and also change home directory [01:49] 512kB/s [01:49] ok heres the link to my problem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51964/ [01:49] nickrud: lol what does that mean [01:49] where under properties I have looked all over [01:49] aexis if xfce was hogging resources something else was wrong...I have done some serious comparisons and xfce is relatively good on resource management [01:49] no chicken sacrisfising [01:50] Darkmystere: that seems to be what happened, an overheat and hardware failure. [01:50] lol @ nickrud, look "There is only 1 program which provides www-browser(/usr/bin/w3m). Nothing to configure" [01:50] nickrud: everything works better in Ubuntu and windows hates it soo much that when i was trying to defrag a virus unfragged.. [01:50] aexis: Yes. Just install "fluxbox" on top of your current install. Let me get you some links... [01:50] DerangedDelusion, well, i'm far from an expert, you sound more like one than i am really. but i'm just reading that the primary purpose of an RST attack may be to, well, close your connections. that however requires spoofing a packet coming from the *right* host (like spoofing one from yahoo.com if you're visiting yahoo.com), and doing *several* attempts to guess the correct sequence number. i'm reading this at http://kerneltrap.org/node/3072 . so you could [01:50] see if the *amount* of the RST packets seems like enough to think that such an attack might be happening, or whether it's simply a smaller (though still substantial) amount of packets simply meant to generally hose your connection. [01:50] LjL floods! 0o [01:50] LOL [01:50] The world has come to an end! [01:50] javaJake: verbosity is not flood [01:50] jvai: try running sensible-browser in a terminal, what do you get [01:50] !lol | Darkmystere [01:50] !flood | LjL [01:50] LjL: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel.

[01:51] LjL verbosity is usually sesquipedalian [01:51] LjL: heheheh, I know, I know... :) [01:51] th0r: so xfce Is more light than Gnome? [01:51] javaJake ;P [01:51] does anyone know an answer to my problem? i've been working on this for a few weeks now, i'm not a noob with computers at all... and this one has me stumped... [01:51] aexis: You can run both kde and gnome apps in fluxbox. [01:51] lmao.. @ nickrud... moz opened up! [01:51] javaJake: thanks, I'll check it out, 6.06 LTS if that makes a difference ;D [01:51] aexis definitely more light than gnome. Probably a little heavier than fluxbox...but xfce has some nice features that I think make it worthwhile [01:51] Odd-rationale: that sound very good indeed then [01:52] rolobio: Ur lucky i havent been able to keep a working ubuntu install for more then 3 days or less -.- [01:52] nano__: nope. :) [01:52] hey, what do i need for my Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02) to work? [01:52] jvai: ah, sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser [01:52] which package\driver [01:52] nano__: it's good to check though [01:52] !printing [01:52] Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[01:52] mrbrdo: did you check lspci? [01:52] i need to add 9 audio mp3s into one, one after the other. altogether they are about 500mb, i tried audacity, but is there an easier way to do this? === Varka_ is now known as Varka [01:52] !lspci [01:52] Sorry, I don't know anything about lspci - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [01:52] Darkmystere: lol, yes well i've been able to solve every problem so far but this one... [01:52] i am tempted to switch eth1 and eth0 around in 70-persistent-net-rules then reboot and ask a staff to switch the cables around.... however if there is a problem i am 2.5 hours away.... [01:52] th0r: 'cos with gnome i've ahd no probelms, the PC IS faster than under freaking Windows (R) [01:53] basically, i have 8 mp3's, and would like to combine them into one, each playing after the other. [01:53] nickrud.. same results - There is only 1 program which provides www-browser(/usr/bin/w3m). Nothing to configure. [01:53] will i risk it ? [01:53] th0r: Thanks [01:53] TeXnicer how do you think i got "Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)"?

If you don't see similar I would start with 'top' to see what is using up cpu or memory [01:53] TeXnicer don't you think i haven't done that yet [01:53] haha [01:53] blah blah [01:54] Darkmystere: do you have windows installed as well? or just linux? [01:54] mrbrdo: it should work without much fiddling [01:54] mrbrdo: and check ubuntuusers. [01:54] How create 512Mb swap? [01:54] javajake : dammit ! [01:54] nickrud - "no alternatives for xwww-browser" [01:54] it was as simple as changing my IP from localhost to the real one [01:54] i need to add 9 audio mp3s into one, one after the other. altogether they are about 500mb, i tried audacity, but is there an easier way to do this? [01:54] well it doesn't work out of the box [01:54] TY all [01:54] i need to add 9 audio mp3s into one, one after the other. altogether they are about 500mb, i tried audacity, but is there an easier way to do this? === Thoth1287 is now known as Thoth [01:54] How create 512Mb swap? [01:54] with 7.10 KDE4 [01:54] mrbrdo: what makes you say that? is Network Manager displaying access points? [01:54] AussieHatter: not that it won't work, but you can never tell. :) [01:54] th0r: i'm not running, i'm fuckjing WALKING [01:54] jvai: finally, try gnome-www-browser [01:54] rolobio: Both Im starting to hate windows Ubuntu is more smooth but im trying to be nice and keep it and give windows the better share of the pie i.e 40GB ubuntu 30GB [01:54] !language | aexis [01:54] aexis: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.

[01:55] javaJake: I dont see a list of avail. networks? sorry, new to linux, maybe too used to windows [01:55] i am struggling to think how i can fix it from here thouh...... [01:55] Darksystere: lol i was doing the same thing then i found wine! its awesome but i just can't get this graphics card working... [01:55] mneptok i don't know i think iwconfig is kind of more basic don't you think [01:55] rolobio: I want create swap partition. [01:55] nickrud.. FF opened, but in another window [01:55] sorry ljl [01:55] strange [01:55] jvai: ok, not mozilla. hm. type echo $BROWSER [01:55] Trying to add my monitor under Screens & Graphics. A restart is needed. When done, the monitor is listed again as Unknown. How can I fix this? [01:56] Capsule: ok is your OS already fully installed or are you installing it right now? [01:56] mrbrdo: you should use Network Manager to diagnose wifi issues. it's more reliable as to what it actually sees than is iwconfig. [01:56] aexis I still think xfce will work. I am running a server with 7.10 that runs xfce remotely, and even there the cpu is under 5% most of the time and mem is 86M free out of 192M [01:56] rolobio: i have installed [01:56] mrbrdo: is Network Manager displaying access points? any at all? [01:56] mneptok does that exist for KDE [01:56] rolobio: how i can know swap size? [01:56] mrbrdo: oho! KDE. [01:56] i'm rebooting right now i'll see if it's there [01:56] Capsule: your swap should be twice the size of your RAM [01:56] mrbrdo: you might want to try #kubuntu [01:56] I am playing with screenlets and i opened more than one mailcheck widget. If i disable or quit or any of that all of them disappear and no matter what I do if I enable it again two of them come up! how can i fix this (it is not in properties I tried that) [01:56] hey what command do I use to put kde4.0 on top of fiesty [01:57] !kde4 [01:57] KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [01:57] i tried kde4.0-desktop but it dont work [01:57] does anyone know an answer to my problem? I've looked everywhere... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51964/ [01:57] mneptok it doesn't matter which window manager i'm using for NETWORK RELATED issues! [01:57] hey guys.. i'm looking for the package that bring 'spawn' command [01:57] some ideas? [01:57] at least last i checked [01:57] nickrud, nada, just a space, then back to curser command wait [01:57] rolobio: cat /proc/swaps this shows swap size? [01:57] mrbrdo: it does if you're using DESKTOP ENVIRONMENT SPECIFIC UTILITIES TO TROUBLESHOOT [01:57] look [01:57] ifconfig -a [01:57] LjL - for someone who's not an expert, securing my iptables using the tricks on that site really helped - I had assumed that Ubuntu had a default 'safe' configuration for iptables, but in fact, I was basically on the web without a firewall - but it's working great now - thanks! [01:57] so is their a terminal command to install kde4.0 [01:57] doesn't even display the iface [01:57] ok? [01:58] so i doubt Gnome could show something to me that ifconfig can't [01:58] ok I have a canon mp370 all in one printer I should use cups to print right? [01:58] DerangedDelusion, are you not behind an adsl modem ? [01:58] moz hijacked my xchat.... [01:58] so what command do I use [01:58] mrbrdo: welp, i'm sure you know more about this stuff than i. [01:58] * nickrud doesn't ever remember mneptok shouting [01:58] * mneptok tootles off to help others [01:58] Capsule: uhm... i'm not to sure about that, sorry but the only way I know how to create swap space is to do it during the installation (i'd just go with what ubuntu reccomends) [01:58] DerangedDelusion, well, it's pretty safe by default, since there's no services listening on any ports (well, i think there's an exception to that in Gutsy). being vulnerable to DDoS doesn't mean not being "safe" from a security perspective... it just breaks your connections :) [01:59] how to invite ppl into channel? [01:59] i had moz & moz composer installed [01:59] Trying to add my monitor under Screens & Graphics. A restart is needed. When done, the monitor is listed again as Unknown. How can I fix this? [01:59] now does that mean I need certain modules to make this printer work' [01:59] when i install eclispe [01:59] TeXnicer: /invite [01:59] DerangedDelusion: ALL the ports are CLOSEd by default..what are you tlaking about? [01:59] aexis: uhm, no. [01:59] there's just no services listening. [01:59] jvai: when you installed eclipse. One last thing, do env | sort , and put that on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org [02:00] so how do i install kde4.0 over fiesty from the terminal [02:00] aexis - This was a problem with TCP RST flood attack, that LjL helped me to figure out. [02:00] !kde4 > exneo (exneo, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:00] lkl i tested my ports after installing [02:00] exneo: i doubt KDE4 is in Feisty's backports, but i could be wrong. [02:00] Does anyone use either Nvidia Geforce 7200GS or Nvidia Geforce 8400GS? How well do they perform? (I want to know whether (or not) I should buy one). [02:00] LjL: Is there a stats plugin for ubotu i want to know how much time ive wasted >.> [02:00] aexis - that's not going to prevent a brute force TCP RST/DDoS attack [02:00] DerangedDelusion: and they were all closed by default [02:01] LjL: In all lol [02:01] aexis - That's great, but a TCP RST attack relies on you having an open web connection [02:01] DerangedDelusion: interesting then.... [02:01] !ircstats > Darkmystere (Darkmystere, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:01] what does everyone think the best email client is [02:01] DerangedDelusion: so did you install firestarter? [02:01] apt-get remove mozilla? @ nickrud. & ouch on env \ sort - no such file or directory [02:01] aexis - No, I just blocked excessive rst packets in iptables [02:01] portablejim: a general rule of thumb is, if they're newer than six months, don't expect full Linux support. A year is a good safety limit. [02:02] HELP! Trying to add my monitor under Screens & Graphics. A restart is needed. When done, the monitor is listed again as Unknown. How can I fix this? [02:02] the printer is recognized in system so does that mean I just have to setup cups? [02:02] jvai: not backslash, vertical bar, above the \ on my keyboard [02:02] DerangedDelusion, i argue however that Ubuntu should *not* provide such sophisticated (and potentially service-denying itself) "flood protection". it should certainly make sure that no sensitive and potentially exploitable services are running on your machine, but i really don't think it ought to implement active counter-measures by default - with all their conceivable side effects. [02:02] aah ok [02:02] DerangedDelusion: i found a much better way of protecting my pc === Mizrahi is now known as Aeleon [02:02] I am wanting performance info. They would both have support. [02:03] DerangedDelusion: one pc is connected, another is NEVER and NEVER will BE, connected [02:03] :-P [02:03] nickrud.. it's pasted [02:03] aexis: that doesn't help when you're trying to use your *connection* on the *connected* pc and an attack gets you *disconnected*. [02:03] how do you flood protect a typical ubuntu box? DDOS is not something you protect yourself against but your ISP does for you [02:03] jvai: what's the url? [02:03] ubotu didnt explain my question I use feisty and I want kde 4.0 [02:04] not as if your connection could normally handly any kind of DDOS: it will be just overwhelmed no matter what [02:04] LjL nope, that's true.....i know that for sad expoerience [02:04] so is their a sudo apt-get .. to install kde4.0 [02:04] exneo: did you miss the part that says that KDE 4.0 support is to be obtained in #kubuntu-kde4? [02:04] nickrud - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51966/ [02:04] * javaJake wonders how he can turn off the annoying *star* highlights LjL's been using in irssi [02:04] !kde4 | exneo [02:04] exneo: KDE 4.0 is the latest major release of the K Desktop Environment. KDE 4.0 packages can be found at http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-4.0.php - More information can be found at http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.0/ - Support in #kubuntu-kde4 [02:04] javaJake: you use a client that for some reason decides to render words that have asterisks around them as *bold*... you face the consequences :) [02:04] LjL, but as each time i install something better to protect my connection, the (CENSORED) use some thing even BETTER, then i just have to get along with it [02:05] Could someone please help me?

[02:09] aexis: that's how it's supposed to be. start the software with gksudo [02:09] !root > aexis (aexis, see the private message from Ubotu) [02:09] Guess what I just learned? rm -rf / [02:09] zamfir: unplug old, plug in new, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver and restart X [02:10] LjL: silly, it's My pc, not a stolen one...i KNOW the root password [02:10] Devo: did you run that command?

[02:10] aexis, which part is not clear?: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:11] aaaarg, lost.. ok.. ty @ nickrud [02:11] but sometimes i try to use a soft and it says that i don't have th root privs, and when i tried to close the session adn start it as root i am not allowed to do so [02:11] aexis: nor should you. *READ THE ABOVE* [02:11] jhola [02:11] what part of gksudo is hard o use?

[02:12] aexis: gksudo is a graphical sudo [02:12] !gksudo [02:12] If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately.

[02:33] like that hmmm i think i need to remove the quotes [02:33] viator: without the "" [02:34] widarto: but if you already installed it, then you have not the copntacts in outlook anymore, isn't that right? [02:34] ok cool then i un comment that line [02:34] right [02:34] viator: then you need to run sudo update-grub which will add it to the actual kernel lines [02:34] viator: no don't uncomment it, or you'll break grub [02:35] hmmm ok [02:35] when mount a burned data dvd, i'm not able to read the files as a regular user [02:35] hello ubuntu chat, is there a linux/ubuntu program that can export a movie to punch cards?

[03:01] kramel1: hmm well this sounds rather sucky . . . basically that error is rather generic, it sounds like the kernel is failing to load for some reason off the live disk, perhaps you should try another version of ubuntu (6.10 maybe? 8.04 alpha?) or a different distro (=[) [03:01] darkkith: stop that pleasr [03:01] btw thanks dr willis, you saved me a good 5 hours :D [03:01] I do not see it [03:01] :| [03:01] darkkith: and watch your language in the future [03:02] erawfish: I am sorry if i am being unclear.

[03:15] hey i m a linux newbie - what is the directory location of the installed application files?? [03:15] burenig, ah. hmm, I can't find any documentation, but how do get alt+tab back then?

I am. It's that stupid bytecode interpreter flag. So, openoffice renders with it's annoying anti-aliasing instead of the gnome one. The official openoffice renders using gnome anti-aliasing. [03:16] yea i have [03:16] i can run it [03:16] Turel: it should be in /usr/bin/ [03:17] hm ctgPi let me check it.. [03:17] erawfish: Do I need to have something reload it or... What? Just saving it again with the lines that looked important uncommented didn't do anything [03:17] erawfish: I know it saved though [03:17] How i uninstall a program like "FrostWire" [03:17] Turel: are you associating .torrents in Firefox? [03:18] Elevator_Hazard: apt-get update now to update your package lists? [03:18] water: Add/Remove program? uncheck the application then save changes? [03:18] erawfish: thanks [03:18] erawfish: Oh wow yea... This could be a while. [03:18] erawfish: I lied... NOW mayb eit will work... [03:19] SpookyET: have you checked http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=406273 [03:19] erawfish: thank you, i tried the medibuntu repository and installed all of the codecs on that page, but it still tells me Unknown Encoder 'aac' when I run ffmpeg [03:19] erawfish: Wow thanks I think it will work now [03:20] erawfish: demanding a restart, I'll be back with more thanks if it works :D [03:20] starfall87: No. I'm saying that OpenOffice Ubuntu renders fonts horribly. I'm also saying that OpenOffice from OpenOffice.org (NOT UBUNTU) renderings fonts well. [03:20] ok, i have tried but i cant load any linux live cd, the biggest live cd i can run is gparted, i need something, i dont care what, but i need a boot loader for winxp + ubuntu and i cant find anything that i can do in windows or from a cd [03:21] !dualboot [03:21] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [03:21] !dual-boot [03:22] Ok, I officially now have libfaad2-0, libfaad2-dev, libfaac of the same, w32codecs, gtkpod-aac, and am following a tutorial that doesnt seem to have anyone seeing the same problems as I am in the comments, but... im getting the Unknown encoder 'aac' error when I run ffmpeg [03:22] is there any way to fix this? [03:22] jgiorgi: if you're dealing with just a bootloader, have you tried Super Grub Disk ? [03:24] ctgPi: thnx for your help [03:24] Turel: you're welcome :) [03:24] "!dualboot" just tells me how to install ubuntu with windows, i have win xp and ubuntu installed but i cant load a linux live cd, i need something to install a bootloader from win xp or from cd without a full linux live cd [03:25] please can anyone tell me why hcitool dev return no device? [03:25] I burned a dvd movie (w/audio_ts and video_ts directories) using Nero Linux, finalized it and now it won't play in my dvd player. Any suggestions? [03:25] Hi, will grub work with Winblows Vista? [03:25] jgiorgi: why can't you load a live CD? [03:25] although I know I have one bluetooth? [03:26] tinin: I believe so [03:26] indygunfreak: glitchy old hdd [03:26] tinin: it *should* [03:26] should... [03:26] jgiorgi: that shouldn't have anything to do w/ loading a live CD [03:26] should crash? [03:26] should work. [03:26] jgiorgi: have you looked a super grub disk [03:27] Last november, I instaled/copied over my system onto a 2nd drive, which generally mounts as /media/sdb, and the boot drive is /media/sda.. they are both SATA internals, the same sze, both partitioned the same way.. Just now I rebooted the machine (its remote).. The old backup just came up as the boot disk.. How do I control ths?? I want my orginal boot disk to boot, please [03:27] is apt-get autoremove bad? lol [03:27] indygunfreak: no where do i get it [03:27] I'm readin tha there is the need of a tool called EasyBCD [03:27] get what? [03:27] Junkee: no, it just removes unused packages [03:27] tinin: I use easybcd, and it seems to work fine [03:27] indygunfreak: when i try to run any large live cd (basically any full os) i get an hdd error [03:28] nickrud: after i hit y to let it do its thing there is just a blinking cursor in the console [03:28] nickrud: where do i get super grub disc? [03:28] jgiorgi: i don't know, that doesn't make much sense... google Super Grub disk [03:28] is it working, or should i worry? [03:28] Junkee: how long did you wait [03:28] 2 minutes or so [03:28] jgiorgi: i just googled super grub disk when I needed it [03:28] Starnestommy ok, I expected to dual boot as easy as linux/winxp with just grub [03:29] nickrud: i dont mind letting it run for awhile [03:29] Junkee: strange, try sudo apt-get -f install what happens? [03:29] erawfish: So I guess the first time at startup when it asked me to select monitor/driver I didn't save changes... [03:29] anyone can help me configure pure-ftpd? [03:29] Junkee: then give it a couple more minutes, but that's way long [03:29] tinin: you might not need easybcd, because I was able to get grub to load vista after getting vista's bootloader to load grub [03:29] erawfish: The drivers through restricted drivers manager didn't work [03:29] play [03:29] Elevator_Hazard: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg [03:29] i cant find out how to change port and allow permissions [03:29] err okay [03:30] erawfish: and I htought the ATI radeon 8500 was actually ATI Ladeon (what with the terrible resolution) [03:30] erawfish: :D I fixed it, thanks though for helping me with that other problem. [03:30] Elevator_Hazard: radeon 8500 does not use the restricted driver. so what videocard do you actually have? [03:30] erawfish: I would have pondered over that for so long. Umm... I don't know [03:30] nickrud: its working now that i typed what you said to [03:30] erawfish: I know its ATI [03:30] thank you kindly [03:30] Starnestommy in wich moment should I install Easybcd, after or before ubuntu (wista is yet installed) [03:30] Elevator_Hazard: lspci [03:30] where do i find a list of fonts available on my computer, and how do i know if they are bold or not? [03:30] Junkee: yw [03:30] oh [03:31] tinin: it's not needed [03:31] erawfish: the driver I chose on windows from the ATI driver site was 9550 Radeon but that wasn't on the list that popped up at startup [03:31] just freed up over 500 megs of useless things, very nice [03:31] erawfish: so I'm fine with this unless it could cause future problems..? [03:31] Elevator_Hazard: answer my question or bother someone else [03:31] tinin: if you want to use it, before, but grub should be able to load directly [03:31] erawfish you mean vista wont delete my mbr? [03:31] erawfish: I told you I don't know. [03:31] tinin: it will when you install it after ubuntu but what'S the problem? [03:32] Elevator_Hazard: and I told you how to look [03:32] anyone have any good alases [03:32] you can load up in recovery mode and run fixmbr.exe [03:32] it should fix it [03:32] erawfish "lspci"? command?

[03:50] nickrud: it worked, thanks! [03:50] frogmeat: I, honestly, know very little about sound. Mine seems to just work. :( [03:51] or perhaps sound is set to root and I have no sound because I do not have permission, I read that somewhere, but I do not know how to check these things, or repair them [03:51] you need to be in audio group for sound to work [03:51] but you should be already [03:52] sound is probably the most complicated thing in linux, even beats out wireles [03:52] do i need to download and install ssh in ubuntu 7.10 desktop in order for me to access my box remotely if i upload my photoshop files from work to home?

[03:56] Kalamansi, do a "nmap localhost" to see if your ssh server is running [03:56] Kalamansi: http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/articles/hardening_linux?page=0%2C2 [03:56] usefule [03:57] Kalamansi: but do what Duke_Fluke said about the firewall and router, and install ssh-server [03:57] Duke_Fluke: By the way, I actually _did_ know that soy un perdedor meant 'I am a loser'. Thanks for the encouragement, haha. :) [03:57] Can someone tell me how to fix rhythmbox?

If you're super worried about hackers or something, set it up on a non-standard port, and install something like 'fail2ban', so that you can ban IPs upon a certain number of failed attempts.

[04:05] I just told you I never booted it from a CD to begin with. [04:06] ndiswrapper [04:06] nano__: make......AND? [04:06] Gearsmith: we don't support wubi either [04:06] !wubi [04:06] nano_, your compiling a driver? [04:06] Duke_Fluke: When i boot the live cd, and select install.. it asks me to configure the monitor resolution and choose graphics driver. Then it says 3 things (Last is: Running boot loader something) and then does nothing [04:06] wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html [04:06] danbhfive: i have no idea how that pkg became rc.. [04:06] now i can fix perl [04:06] not really ubuntu related, but why are motherboards limited in ram capacity? [04:06] hey [04:06] soyunperdedor : kindly tell me where is that? i dont see in synaptic [04:06] I don't have Windows.. [04:06] I guess thats what they call it [04:06] mikegriffin: unlikely. dpkg needs perl to install stuff [04:06] hey [04:06] Gearsmith: And most everyone told you to download the ISO, burn it to a disk, and boot from that disk, man. [04:06] Gearsmith: how are you on line? [04:06] what is Steve Jobs gonna announce tomorrow? [04:06] LOL OMG!!! Please someone look at this and scroll down to where this guy is talking about Lunix, which i believe he means LINUX, because there is a Lunix. what a tard http://www.adequacy.org/stories/2001.12.2.42056.2147.html [04:06] can someone help me with some ubuntu stuff? I'm quite new to linux other than using its programs [04:07] erawfish: not everything just PMs that use locale [04:07] Duke_Fluke: the instructions just say make [04:07] firefoxie what u need [04:07] Gearsmith, go to ubuntu's website download ubuntu burn to disk and install. [04:07] ForgetYouNot: don't link troll sites [04:07] I'm on Ubuntu right now, but I need to reinstall it. Can the ISO fit on a 700 MB CD? [04:07] njneer: so the installation process freezes at that point? Does it happen if try it a second time? [04:07] um [04:07] Gearsmith: yes [04:07] Kalamansi: You'll have to make sure that you have included those repositories in your 'sources.list' file. Have you ever done that? [04:07] erawfish, troll sites? [04:07] Steve Jobs will announce we are all in his imagination amd he will wake up and we will all disappear [04:07] mikegriffin: ah, not perl but a locales problem. dpkg-reconfigure locale [04:07] !akd | firefoxIE [04:07] u know in windows u just double click on the installer and follow a wizard to install something [04:07] Sorry, I don't know anything about akd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:07] nano__: yeah that usually means compile [04:07] Actually, would I be able to put it on a flash drive? [04:07] :) anyways... I have tried to install the drivers for my 8600GTS and each time ubuntu starts in low graphics mode. When I go to Apps>System Tools>NVIDIA X Server Settings, it says I am not using the NVIDIA X driver. [04:07] firefoxIE, yes.. [04:07] !ask | firefoxIE [04:07] firefoxIE: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [04:08] ForgetYouNot: adequacy.org is a site made for trolling ONLY. it's defunct now too [04:08] soyunperdedor : how to know that? i think nope. [04:08] Like, uh, boot it from the flash drive? [04:08] Gearsmith if you attempt to install from the CD, you will be REQUIRED to to a full reinstall, so just do it that way, and it will make you happy [04:08] Duke_Fluke: Yea, its like it is waiting for me to input something. I waited for hours, nothing happens. I tried many times but the same thing happens. [04:08] !nvidia | lolface [04:08] lolface: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto [04:08] firefoxIE: You know, in ubuntu all you do is open up synaptic, find the program, and tell it to install it. [04:08] erawfish, oh, sorry. im not familiar with trolling? what is it [04:08] i did see that [04:08] <|Porsche> iis this a good place to get help with iptables? [04:08] soyunperdedor the last time i installed firestarter and going nuts to iptables, my pc2 cannot connect to the internet. so i reinstall ubuntu [04:08] so I downloaded the newest version of firefox from the internet [04:08] and some tar file came up [04:08] what do I do with the tar file [04:08] ForgetYouNot: look it up on wikipedia [04:09] firefoxIE: nothing [04:09] ForgetYouNot Trolling is a type of fishing actually :p [04:09] soyunperdedor sudo apt-get install fail2ban is not working too. there is no file [04:09] when I double click some archival manger comes up [04:09] danbhfive oh, i didnt know [04:09] firefoxIE, ok then what [04:09] soyunperdedor ah yes sudo apt-get install fail2ban is working [04:09] njneer: thats a tricky one....maybe some hardware problem...did this computer have an operating system on it before? like windows? [04:09] Kalamansi: You have to enable the repository. In Synaptic, Settings>Repositories. and make sure universe is enabled. [04:09] i have followed that and when that didn't work i tried two other guides, and even asked my friend who uses Debian [04:09] not really ubuntu related, but why are motherboards limited in ram capacity? I have asked google, but it is not an easy question to do a search on... [04:09] erawfish: someday i will get the keyring issue i have fixed [04:09] whats synaptic? [04:10] but none have worked so far [04:10] firefoxIE, its a file manager [04:10] firefoxIE: the program you use to install stuff on ubuntu [04:10] oh ok [04:10] how do I find it? [04:10] firefoxIE, woops i mean a package manager [04:10] firefoxIE: it allows you to install firefox [04:10] ForgetYouNot so on the internets, it refers to "fishing" for emotional responses, usually by saying provacative statements, without really meaning it, or whatever [04:10] synaptic is in the system menu, under administration [04:10] !ot | danbhfive [04:10] danbhfive: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [04:10] skywalking: number of slots, max ram in a single stick supported and max size supported by bios [04:10] oh cheers [04:10] sgtkwol: that was for you sorry [04:11] so is synaptic like what u use in firefox to install programs? [04:11] Gearsmith: If you can boot from a cd, just do it. It's way easier than anything else. But if you wish to try another method just for kicks, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [04:11] Duke_Fluke: Actually it currently does have windows on it. Its the hard disk im using right now. I was thinking it will ask me to format. Do I need to format it with a windows cd and then install from the live cd? [04:11] danbhfive, oh, ok. [04:11] soyunperdedor its installed now but there is no gui. how to setup or assign? [04:11] firefoxIE: synaptic is what you use to install programs in ubuntu [04:11] so i don't know what to do next [04:11] Kalamansi: You're right, there is no gui. [04:11] Kalamansi: Let me see if I can find you a link. [04:11] after trying many guides [04:11] soyunperdedor thank you [04:11] firefoxIE, synaptic install programs like firefox , if thats what you mean [04:11] d [04:11] so in linux u dont do what u do in linux where u download the setup file and then install it from the installation package of the program [04:11] my 8600 GTS wont work [04:11] I mean in windows [04:11] Kalamansi: First, I should ask: Are you hoping to be able to access the GUI interface of your computer from somewhere? [04:12] !software | firefoxIE [04:12] I mean in windows [04:12] firefoxIE: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents [04:12] i mean the driver install wont work [04:12] !apt | firefoxIE [04:12] firefoxIE: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome) or !Adept (KDE) [04:12] Does my version of Ubuntu make a difference? its 6.06 LTS [04:12] lolface: dpkg-rconfigure xserver-xorg can you select "nvidia" as the driver [04:12] I havent got 7.10 installed because i just decided to use linux today and thats all that was available (Ubuntu wise) [04:12] firefoxIE, no [04:12] Kalamansi : well if its posibble yes. because im running firestarter there in pc1 server. [04:12] firefoxIE: you got it.. there are no .exe files in linux.. ubuntu uses .deb mostly but there are other ways of installing programs. synaptic is the best and easiest way without jepordizing your system. [04:13] nano__: yes [04:13] firefoxIE, you use synaptic or apt-get in a terminal [04:13] oh ok [04:13] whats a terminal? [04:13] seems like ripperX is working properly. thanks for the help. [04:13] firefoXie : find it in Application [04:13] erawfish: So is there a 'substitute' for make ? [04:13] oh ok [04:13] firefoXie : find it in Applications/Accessories [04:13] found it :) [04:13] firefoxIE, go to Applications < Accessories < terminal [04:13] nano__:no. make works, ndiswrapper not necessarily [04:13] njneer: well if windows works ok on it then your hardware is probably ok....so then maybe some piece of hardware in your system is causing this...someone else can help us troubleshoot this? I don't know what to suggest [04:14] nano__: you haven't told us what problem [04:14] Ever since opening port 22 I've been getting remote login attempts (no surprise there). I found a program called fail2ban. Anybody here use it? I think the chances of the script kiddies logging in are zero, but I'm a meanie and the ability to auto ban ip's after x failed logins is soooo tempting =D [04:14] so is terminal where u enter commands like in windows DOS to do things [04:14] Kalamansi: You may want to look into something other than ssh, in that case. Strictly speaking, you can use SSH to tunnel X windows to the remote desktop, but ssh is command line based. [04:14] !info ndiswrapper dapper [04:14] Package ndiswrapper does not exist in dapper [04:14] firefoxIE: Yes, similar. [04:14] soyunperdedor : its okay. ill use ssh [04:14] oh ok [04:14] njneer: you could make sure your media is good [04:14] firefoxIE, yes [04:15] firefoxIE: but terminal is much more powerful [04:15] njneer: also try the media in another comp [04:15] erawfish: I'm trying to install a driver for ndiswrapper, running throught the instructions and it said to type make, but when i type it, it says command not found [04:15] what is a package? thanks [04:15] soyunperdedor but i guess there is a way when you start ubuntu box the firestarter will run it self. so that if im away from the box, i will not just click and run the firestarter [04:15] !package [04:15] nano__: and I gave you an url via ubotu [04:15] Sorry, I don't know anything about package - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:15] erawfish: well Nvidia is selected in Section "Device" in xorg.conf if thats what you mean [04:15] !dpkg [04:15] dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. [04:15] it looks like plugins [04:15] njneer: try another distro too maybe [04:15] and like what makes up a program [04:15] Duke_Fluke: I made 2 cds and checked with the burning software if it copied properly. Im sure they are fine. Is there any other way i can check? [04:16] soyunperdedor how to run fail2ban? [04:16] Does ubuntu use IP tables out of the box? [04:16] Kalamansi: http://muhdzamri.blogspot.com/2007/10/fail2ban-yet-another-tool-to-protect.html -- Scroll down and find the configuration area. [04:16] Smegzor : yes. if you use putty ssh [04:16] lolface: and what does your Xorg.0.log say? [04:16] I don't want to install firestarter when fail2ban can just add ip's to there. [04:17] Smegzor: netfilter is enabled by default yes [04:17] soyunperdedor why not? you dont like firestarter? its cool tho [04:17] anyone know how to fix the keyring, i have hosed it http://pastebin.com/d31c89389 [04:17] njneer: sounds like you know what your doing... I would try an older or newer version of Ubuntu what version are you installing? [04:17] firefoxIE: A package is similar to downloading a *.exe file in Windows. In this case, Synaptic will download and install the program, and any other programs that it may depend on. [04:17] erawfish : which is more advance netfilter or firestarter? [04:17] how do I run a .bin file? [04:17] Kalamansi: they are different things [04:17] so um whats the point of downloading installation from the firefox website when you can get it from synaptic? [04:17] Kalamansi: and you've already been told what each is [04:18] how do i install something that was intended for Gutsy on Feistry [04:18] dn4: depends on the bin file [04:18] like I downloaded firefox 2.00.11.tar.gz [04:18] whats that file meant to do for me? [04:18] firefoxIE: I don't know, you downloaded it. [04:18] !prevu | IceDragon [04:18] IceDragon: prevu is an automated, personal backporting utility. Check out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Prevu for more details [04:18] firefoxIE: there is no point for the firefox website for you. use synaptic already [04:18] I thought it was a exe.file [04:18] Can some else help njneer troubleshoot a frozen install? [04:18] firefoxIE: It does nothing for you. [04:18] erawfish: what part of Xorg.0.log ? [04:18] dn4: what is the output of file whatever.bin [04:18] oh ok [04:18] lolface: ALL of it [04:18] firefoxIE: Just get it from Synaptic. [04:18] Duke_Fluke:7.10 [04:18] copy paste? [04:18] !paste [04:18] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [04:19] sh *.bin did the trick [04:19] oh ok [04:19] firefoxIE: For future reference, *.tar.gz is a compressed archive -- similar to *.zip. [04:19] is the latest version of firefox in linux 2.0.0.11? [04:20] hey guys i got a Q [04:20] erawfish: send link? [04:20] firefoxIE: sounds right, other than the ff3 betas. [04:20] on synaptic it says latest version is 2.0.0.3 [04:20] thx [04:20] anyone here ever used pure-ftpd? [04:20] Duke_Fluke: I just remembered i chose the 64 bit AMD option, maybe I can try downloading the standard PC ? [04:20] how do u get your computer to read the disk on startup [04:21] acidfire2008: as your real question, don't take a poll [04:21] firefoxIE: sounds like you need to do some updates [04:21] !info firefox [04:21] firefox: lightweight web browser based on Mozilla.

[04:21] njneer: I was jsut going to say whats your hardware? yeah that sounds like a good idea [04:21] erawfish: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51975/ [04:21] Gekkomon_Shogun: by telling your BIOS o boot from CD instead of hardisk [04:21] im trying to configure pure-ftpd and cant figure out how to [04:21] ill see what i can do [04:21] i may be back [04:22] lolface: glxinfo | grep -i direct [04:22] acidfire2008: never seen it.. what are you trying to change from the default? [04:22] acidfire2008: you edit its config file. /etc/pure-ftpd most probably [04:22] erawfish: but then i would still have to use the command "make" ;ater on? [04:22] Duke_Fluke: Ok thanks, i'm downloading that right now. I'll try it and see if it helps. Last CD too.. hope i dont get any errors :P [04:23] later* [04:23] well port number and also to point it to a certain home dir [04:23] nano__: yes [04:23] njneer, good luck :) [04:23] it dont have jus tone config is the problem [04:23] it wants u to make files in its dir [04:23] its confusing [04:23] is there an alternative to ndiswrapper?

[04:30] mikegriffin: It is. Packages are completely different. They'll know what you need and what you dont [04:30] mikegriffin: then installing ubuntu is the totaly wrong way. the ONLY way to get debian is to start with a debian CD [04:30] erawfish: no way [04:30] erawfish: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51977/ [04:30] mikegriffin: I said ONLY way [04:30] you are sure of that?

[04:36] Which package did you install [04:36] for example they dont even have Pidgin instead of Gaim [04:36] scuizi: no it comes when xorg.conf has been manually changed or debconf thinks it has since the md5sum is wrong [04:36] firefoxIE: You're still in feisty, aren't you [04:36] yes [04:36] is there a command I can run to determine which packages installed on my machine are a newer version than in the apt repos I've currently got configured? [04:36] I bought the CD from a shop [04:36] lolface: nvidia-glx-new should be it [04:37] firefoxIE: Yes. That's normal. Each version of Ubuntu has frozen versions of software (besides bugfixes) [04:37] donspaulding: you could look in synaptic i think [04:37] firefoxIE: do you have a CD burner? [04:37] yep [04:37] on a side note, i have an intel x3100 IGP, and i chose the vesa option [04:37] firefoxIE: then download the ISO from ubuntu.com and burn your own (if you want) [04:37] obv the shop had older stock with only feisty [04:37] no need for shops [04:37] erawfish: k i installed it, what now? [04:37] oh that'll be good [04:37] erawfish what did u want me to do [04:38] what do I do after I burn the ISo [04:38] lolface: restart X [04:38] firefoxIE: You can upgrade via the internet. Don't use a CD. It'll save you on bandwidth too [04:38] !upgrade | firefoxIE [04:38] ok [04:38] firefoxIE: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [04:38] <|Quest|> where can i find complete list of ubuntu supported tv cards? [04:38] Gekkomon_Shogun: look into your CD drve and see what files are on the CD [04:38] they are [04:38] osiri1: is that an ati card? [04:38] |Quest|: any that the linux kernel itself supports [04:38] !hardware | |Quest| [04:38] |Quest|: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection === proppi is now known as propster [04:39] firefoxie, go to update manager and click on version update. [04:39] |Quest|: That's not authoritative though [04:39] uhm [04:39] osiri1: might be an intel card needing the i81x driver.. === propster is now known as proppi === bwlang__ is now known as bwlang [04:39] from dxdiag, it said, if i remember correctly, Intel Mobile 965 Chipset [04:39] osiri1: i810/intel then yes [04:40] so choose i810? [04:40] yes [04:40] erawfish: they are [04:40] osiri1: ok.. like erawfish said.. use synaptic and search for i810 [04:40] ...? [04:40] Gekkomon_Shogun: they are WHAT? I asked for the name of the files on it. "they are" is no answer [04:40] u want all the file names [04:40] osiri1: ? what do you mean ? are you familure with synaptic? [04:40] scuizi: i810 drivers are already installed via X. all he needs to do is to configure to use them [04:41] nope === aRyn_ is now known as aRyn [04:41] q: can older versions such as feisty only handle software versions released during the period which feisty was latest? [04:41] erawfish: ok... osiri1 change your driver in xorg.conf to i810 save then ctrl+alt+backspace to restart the gui and graphics drivers. [04:41] firefoxIE: yes and no [04:42] hello all. Ive installed ubuntu using a minimal cd and then installed the xubuntu-desktop. all of my desktop fonts are so small they are unreadable. Does anyone have any idea where I might fix this problem? === aRyn is now known as aRyn1 [04:42] firefoxIE: Feisty will only ever have the stuff it was released with. You should upgrade to gutsy if you want the newer stuff. === aRyn1 is now known as aRyn [04:42] okay? [04:42] scuizi: do you know about dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ? [04:42] firefoxIE: Thats the easiest and most hassle free method. [04:42] anyone help with wireless issues [04:42] erawfish: yep.. probably not neccesary here. [04:42] erawfish: i did ctrl-alt-F1 and typed sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and then when it was done i pressed ctrl-alt-F7 and it said ubuntu is starting in low-graphics mode (same story as before) and nvidia x server settings is still saying that im not using th nvidia x driver [04:42] i'm editing this on the blue screen with Package Configuration in the upper left [04:43] scuizi: please don't tell people to edit files directly then [04:43] erawfish: i see all the files from the .disk to the wubi-cdboot [04:43] osiri1: yes that's the way to do it [04:43] osiri1: check out erawfish line to me with dpkg etc.. do you see it. [04:43] is there a way to change file types and associations on galeon? [04:43] <|Quest|> erawfish Flannel - ic. [04:43] Gekkomon_Shogun: this is NOT ubuntu. you were told to get an ubuntu CD. wubi is not supported here [04:43] but can't I manually download the latest software for feisty?? or is feisty not compatible with newest software? [04:43] Gekkomon_Shogun: the only place you get the ubuntu CD is at ubuntu.com [04:44] erawfish: you sound a little off kilter tonight.. too much caffine? [04:44] so what should i do [04:44] firefoxIE: you can do it manually but you don't know enough to actually install and configure it [04:44] so confused, okay i'm at where i choose the driver [04:44] firefoxIE: You can. But you should use package management. Its easier and friendlier during upgrades. [04:44] sorry guys [04:44] firefoxIE: and asking us is OT here [04:44] select the i810 in red, and hit enter [04:44] osiri1: using the dpkg line? [04:44] Gekkomon_Shogun: get ubuntu or ask on wubi's channel. or #linux [04:44] yes, the dpkg [04:45] osiri1: yes select i810 [04:45] erawfish: i did ctrl-alt-F1 and typed sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and then when it was done i pressed ctrl-alt-F7 and it said ubuntu is starting in low-graphics mode (same story as before) and nvidia x server settings is still saying that im not using th nvidia x driver [04:45] erawfish: Not really offtopic, no. Just not the preferred method. [04:45] is there an application that changes the sensitivity of the touchpad? [04:45] erawfish: what do u mean by OT ? [04:45] mmkay, done, now it basically tells me to name it [04:45] u mean I asked too many things? [04:45] OT= off topic [04:45] ohk [04:45] yea they dont want to help either.. someday i will get it fixed.. [04:45] lolface: that's wrong. you are using nvidia graphics driver, your xorg.log said so. what does xorg.log say now? [04:46] hhhoooi [04:46] type in the name of my card? [04:46] firefoxIE: no I mean asking how to install stuff manually in feisty that way is OT [04:46] firefoxIE: it's not a ubuntu problem [04:46] erawfish: No its not. [04:46] I have been attempting to connect with dial-up on a Sony Viao VGNx, although : http://www.linux-laptop.net/hosted/fs215e-slackware.html ... it appears that my modem (The HPAUDIO, etc.) doesn't work. Is this the end? Is it not worth tweaking? [04:46] why [04:46] how is that OT [04:46] osiri1: to name it? not sure what you mean there... no.. you might have to install the driver from synaptic.. you're in a terminal right? [04:46] dont worry [04:46] back to the original topic [04:46] cause it's not a ubuntu support problem. e.g. ask #firefox if you want to install firefox from mozilla.com [04:46] firefoxIE: You don't want to do it that way. You should just upgrade to gutsy. [04:46] oh ok [04:46] um [04:47] anybody know how to dump a binary dlob in binhex format? hexdump doesnt have an option for binhex :-( [04:47] how do i tell the terminal? all i see is a blue screen, grey box, with "The X server configuration file associates your video card..." [04:47] does anyone know how to put a link to a program in their applications menu in ubuntu [04:47] the problem is in synaptic the latest versions of software it shows is the same as the one I had, which isn't true, as my version isn't the latest [04:47] using Feisty btw [04:47] fismoll8: system->preferences->main menu? [04:47] i set up my ubuntu at my office cuz they have wireless, but im at the house and the wireless is actin funky on it [04:47] firefoxIE: "Latest" in that sense means latest in the repositories. Which is different than latest released ever. [04:47] mkrufky: apt-cache search binhex [04:48] oh lol [04:48] osiri1: did you every have the gui loaded? if so to run the dpkg reconfigure option you had to get to a terminal.. like a dos box. [04:48] * Grammaticus blinks [04:48] ok [04:48] firefoxIE: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GutsyUpgrades Follow that, upgrde to gutsy [04:48] ok NP [04:48] fismoll8, where is also a program called alacarte aswell [04:48] osiri1: does that ring a bell? is that what you are in? [04:48] gui..., i know what it means, hold on [04:48] thanks starnestommy [04:48] * Grammaticus sighs and blinks again. [04:48] erawfish: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51978/ [04:48] is there an application that changes the sensitivity of the touchpad? [04:49] http://www.aotk50.dsl.pipex.com/install-ubuntu-704-x1/img1A.jpg [04:49] that is what i see [04:49] what is that gui tool/utility called where you could view your boot order and change the boot timer on it? [04:49] heatmzzr: Check out gsynaptics [04:49] Trying to connect to web admin, and my connection times out, but if I use other computer i have no problem connecting to web admin [04:49] ubuntu on kde [04:49] I need some help with a dell inspiron 2500 [04:49] !synaptics [04:49] For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad [04:49] thanks flannel [04:49] heatmzzr: gsynaptics is a frontend to synaptics. Check out that page [04:49] So... only way to connect to a wireless network is via ndiswrapper... [04:49] osiri1: ok.. try to right mouse click ... if a menu pops up choose "open new tab" [04:50] nono, take the border out [04:50] as in, just the blue and the grey box, nothing else, period [04:50] lolface: grep -i driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf [04:50] the inspiron 2500 will turn of unexpectedly [04:50] did that make sense? [04:51] erawfish: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51979/ [04:51] How can I disable a keyboard? [04:51] I also have issues with one of the fans not working [04:51] lolface: lsmod |grep nvidia [04:52] Trying to connect to web admin, https:// ip address:10000 and my connection times out, but if I use other computer i have no problem connecting to web admin [04:52] could anyone point me in the right direction [04:52] how come in Update Manager in Feisty it doesn't say that 7.10 is available but shows like 100 security updates instead [04:52] firefoxIE: because you need to have update-manager up to date to do the gutsy upgrade [04:52] has anyone got any solutions to these problems [04:52] i'm having troubles with my network connection [04:53] oh lol [04:53] erawfish: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51980/ [04:53] what is the default Gnome file browser called (if I want to call it from the command line with sudo)? [04:53] biouser: nautilus [04:53] lolface: modprobe nvidia [04:53] updating one thing to update another thing [04:53] Eisenheim: explain [04:53] biouser: nautilus. And use gksu not sudo [04:53] biouser: gksudo nautilus [04:53] which one is better: kubuntu or ubuntu? [04:53] firefoxIE: Always fully update before switching distribution. [04:53] why gksu? [04:53] firefoxIE: Theyre different, they suit different needs [04:53] oh ok [04:53] erawfish: cyrus@pwnz0r:/var/log$ modprobe nvidia [04:53] FATAL: Error running install command for nvidia [04:53] firefoxIE: no, updating one so you and up_grade_ to the other [04:53] biouser: because you should use gksu (or gksudo) with graphical programs always [04:53] thanks for all answers [04:53] firefoxIE: A preference question largely. [04:54] lolface: you need to use sudo... [04:54] ok [04:54] which one is more widely supported? [04:54] lol [04:54] I have a problem with AWLAscii.ttf font ( includes in LDOCE 2005 ) It is not shown properly, any solution? [04:54] firefoxIE: ubuntu is a bit more common probably in the case of ubuntu [04:54] arg [04:54] erawfish: same thing happens [04:54] dang HP [04:54] i dont know, i set up my ubuntu on my laptop at work cause they got wireless, so when i get home it doesnt connect properly when all my othe windoze laptops do [04:54] lolface: full output please [04:54] lolface: and output of dmesg [04:55] Eisenheim: do you use WPA at home?

[04:56] jlm3030: I think it might be a problem with ACPI [04:56] firefoxIE: In a nutshell: Gnome tries to be OS X. KDE emphasizes power in the hands of user(as in choice and customizability) and superficially resembles Windows more closely. [04:56] my vista laptops runs killer downloads [04:56] i'm at the black terminal login(i think) [04:56] ! gdm [04:56] Sorry, I don't know anything about gdm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:57] navlop: nothing. webmin is a very good way to get rooted [04:57] Eisenheim: what kind of wireless card in your laptop? [04:57] Does anyone know a reasonable forum to post dial-up problems? [04:57] Did they update the ACPI in the latest kernal? [04:57] If so how do I turn it off [04:57] Eisenheim: and what kind of router at home? [04:57] but i dont know the ubuntu laptop picks up five bars on signal lets me open google [04:57] !stopx [04:57] Sorry, I don't know anything about stopx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [04:57] jlm3030: look in /boot/grub/menu.lst [04:58] erawfish tried to connect ot computer using ssh and it times out also [04:58] Eisenheim: it lets you open google? [04:58] navlop: is the PC behind a router? [04:58] search pages will come up but when i log onto site jus doesnt do nothing [04:58] erawfish, all computers are behind router [04:58] Anyone know why when I do xrandr I get connected 1924x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm ?

Could you point to a good source about it? [05:00] fismoll8: build-essential is the full set of tools [05:00] I found the menu.lst should I insert ACPI=0 ? [05:00] if i type any thing into the url it says server not found [05:00] music to my eyes [05:00] Hirvinen_: Pretty sure that's a sysv reference, and other than the relevant man page, no I don't have a good link handy, sorry. [05:01] jlm3030: put noacpi at the end of the kernel line [05:01] did someone say handy? [05:01] To me, truth is not some vague, foggy notion. Truth is real. And, at the same time, unreal. Fiction and fact and everything in between, plus some things I can't remember, all rolled into one big "thing." This is truth, to me. [05:01] erawfish if I use ssh from computer to connext to server it has no prblems, but if i use other computer and i try connecting using ssh i get an connection time out [05:01] thanks guys [05:01] !init | tonyyarusso, Hirvinen_ [05:01] tonyyarusso, Hirvinen_: Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions - To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local - See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a boot floppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto [05:01] Eisenheim: can you ping 4.2.2.1?

[05:12] ok, question, +10 points and a cookie for the best answer, is it possible to read from an NTFS formatted drive and write that info to the ext3 file sys that linux uses? [05:12] because last time I tried a code it said error [05:12] Celes: how should we know? do we sit at the affected computer? [05:12] Sol: yes [05:12] erawfish: sorry lol, but what repos? I have everything checked in synaptics pkg manager>settings menu>Repositories [05:12] http://pastebin.ca/855690 [05:12] erawfish, dont be rude! [05:12] sol natively yes [05:13] Celes: try again... read that link [05:13] lolface: apt-cache search nvidia [05:13] ok...http://www.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php [05:13] that is the only thing i've found so far [05:13] Celes: ask more sensible questions [05:13] i looked for about 20 minutes yesterday [05:13] how would i go about doing that? [05:13] !ntfs-3g | sol [05:13] sol: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [05:13] hello , my download speed dropped a lot (from 200kbs to 15kbs) when i upgraded to Gutsy , help me ... [05:13] sol with ntfs-3g you can even reverse the process [05:13] oh snap, wonderful thank you so much [05:13] Sol: you're using ubuntu? just plug in the ntfs drive, it will be able to read the data [05:13] really? [05:14] yeah [05:14] yes. read only access is there by default [05:14] oh gotcha. [05:14] biouser: you don't need to use gksu with nautilus in your own home, it's actually a bad idea [05:14] ntfs 3g is included in gutsy for write support too [05:14] i.e. natively [05:14] but will it be able to right? [05:14] write* [05:14] Sol one exception, if the writings are in chinese caligraphy, you can not make head or tails of it.. lol [05:14] ok [05:14] write.. and i think so with gutsy [05:14] hahaha ok [05:15] Hi everyone [05:15] "chinese caligraphy" hehheh [05:15] hi all, there seems to be some problem with my system; GAIM isn't working properly- the sounds on sending and receiving a message aren't heard; Once i logout i am not able to login nor are the other users; this problem started when i installed gutsy, but then i switched back to feisty but still the problem persists; I am not able to figure whats causing the problem, Can anybody help? [05:15] Sol: windows can read/write ext3 with fs-driver.org if you want a data drive to be ext3 instead of ntfs [05:15] why do you want sounds? [05:15] hello everyone [05:15] drhous1: upgrade to gutsy and use pidgin :) [05:15] personally I hate messenger sounds [05:15] alright cool i'm on a live CD right now, windows won't stay on for more than a minute without going into hibernation so i thought i'd hop on the live cd, download the newest version, and install ftw [05:15] but check your drivers [05:15] hello, is there a problem with the 3rd generation ipod nano and ubuntu fiesty? [05:16] nickrud: Thanks for the suggestion, its downloading files right now and we'll see what happens in 10 min or so. [05:16] burner is that true ext3 or ext3 mounted ext2 ? [05:16] drhous1, use pidgin [05:16] okay guys I have a question for anyone who can answer...... [05:16] Anyone here familiar with trying to install Ubuntu on a VMWare server? I can't seem to get the ISO to boot. :-/ [05:16] the login and logout i referred to are with respect to the system login [05:16] Agent_bob: uhh... got me, who dual boots anymore? virtualization rules :) [05:16] and i did use pidgin [05:16] nibsa1242: cool [05:16] burner: Sol: it can, but it reads in in ext2 mode... and if your windows crashes you need to boot into linux and let it fdisk [05:16] KrisWood: can you even read any cdrom from vmware? [05:16] why is it that Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 Alpha 3 was updated on Jan 10th, it wasn't release on Jan 10th? [05:17] burner ummm not me i lost M$ long ago heh [05:17] i shifted back to feisty after gutsy presented with the problem [05:17] KrisWood: do you see the grub screen? you can check cd for defects... maybe your .iso download is bad [05:17] if i wanted to attempt to boot faster and i were to edit /etc/init.d/rc and change CONCURRENCY=none to CONCURRENCY=shell or startpar would startpar actually work? [05:17] KrisWood: you check the md5 sum of the download? [05:17] it worked fine when i was using feisty before gutsy [05:17] Bulmer yes, and the CD shows up, I'm getting the debian grub loader as that's what's currently on the machine [05:17] hello , my download speed dropped a lot (from 200kbs to 15kbs) when i upgraded to Gutsy , help me ... [05:17] nibsa: what now? sorry, new to linux, i know a bit, not much though [05:17] where does it list the MD5s? [05:17] I don't see them [05:17] :S [05:17] or not fiesty i mean gutsy [05:17] drhous1 switch back to gutsy and update pidgin [05:17] Sol: you read the link ubotu gave you and follow it [05:17] !md5 [05:17] To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:18] あ [05:18] can anybody help me get vnc working on ubuntu server 6.06 amd64? [05:18] oldude67: the problem isnt just with pidgin or Gaim [05:18] The ISO is on a hosted machine that I don't have access to directly, not sure how I can check my md5 [05:18] erawfish: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51987/ [05:18] KrisWood: you're trying to virtualize ubuntu yes? [05:18] !ntfs-3g > sol [05:18] erawfish: ah ok [05:18] KrisWood: you can't open a terminal on the machine with the .iso and run md5sum? [05:18] KrisWood: you are trying to install via network? [05:18] oldude67: its with the system i am not able to relogin into the system i mean not the chat client account [05:19] drhous1 its with your file system and the back and forth [05:19] what is the difference between the generic kernel and the server kernel ? [05:19] Sol the drivers that allow Windows to read ext3 only work because ext3 is generally backwards compatible with ext2... its not an ext3 implementation and I really only trust windows to read, but not write to my ext(2-3) partitions [05:19] oldude67: how do i fix it? [05:19] burner, bulmer: I'm trying to install over the internet via vmware server console, it's located in a datacenter on the other side of the country [05:19] AussieHatter timming [05:19] <`KaNe> When I start x chat it brings me here automaticly. how do I stop this now?. first time on x chat [05:19] oldude67: by reinstalling gutsy? [05:19] update to gutsy and reload pidgin's update..and see if that helps [05:19] nibsa: ok i gotcha now [05:19] The ISO is hosted on the host's network [05:19] edit the preferences [05:19] AussieHatter: you can compare their /boot/config-xxx and see if they compile same modules [05:19] Agent_bob, timing as in responsiveness ? [05:19] !debootstrap | KrisWood [05:19] KrisWood: debootstrap is used to create a !Debian or Ubuntu base system from scratch, without requiring the availability of !dpkg or !APT. It does this by downloading !.deb files from a mirror site, and carefully unpacking them into a directory you can eventually !chroot into. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot for more information [05:20] its bad to go back and forth [05:20] AussieHatter latency timming. how often it check for new input. [05:20] AussieHatter yes. [05:20] network list, `KaNe [05:20] <`KaNe> I know edit pereferences but this is freenode but it says nothing about logging on here at start up [05:20] could latency timing affect network performance ? [05:20] yes [05:21] which is better sata or ultra ata [05:21] Agent_bob, i have an eth port that is going very slow [05:21] sata [05:21] thanks [05:21] erawfish: I don't think that's the problem, I suspect that my vmware server just doesn't know it's supposed to be booting from CD [05:21] i think [05:21] wait [05:21] better now [05:21] how [05:21] KrisWood: not sure how you'd do that, i thought you can only install like via PXE and a nearby (same lan) tftp/dhcp server [05:21] how do i configure X on ubuntu serveR? [05:21] AussieHatter that's most likely not the cause. you only need a server kernel if you have "gobs" of traffic. [05:21] <|Quest|> what swap size or partition should be there on a server ? [05:22] are daily builds of ubuntu any good and they are listed as DVDs [05:22] AussieHatter more likely an ipv6 issue [05:22] should i look for a cache size of 16 or 8 mb. is there really a difference? [05:22] bulmer: the iso is on the same lan as the server, they're both in the datacenter together [05:22] does that mean then include Kubuntu and Ubuntu? [05:22] its ubuntu server, it has the server kernel now, and 2 of these servers on completely different h/w have had slow network [05:22] The VMWare server has the ISO mounted in its virtual CDROM [05:23] KrisWood: that should be all there is to it [05:23] Agent_bob, i am having a hard time working out what to blame, the speed is 512KBps [05:23] My wifi connection keeps dropping .. i am using the nm-applet.. any ideas how i can fix this?? [05:23] I guess I'll just have to wait for the network admin to wake up and ask him to set it to boot from CD :( [05:23] Agent_bob, do you think ipv6 could affect lan speed ? [05:23] KrisWood: install vmware server locally. create an image with ubuntu for it locally. copy over the image and run it [05:24] yes. check the message from ubotu AussieHatter [05:24] Agent_bob, ok thx [05:24] telee: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_buffer [05:24] erawfish: wouldn't that be a bit of a large upload? :D [05:24] Hi all .. My wifi connection keeps dropping .. i am using the nm-applet.. any ideas how i can fix this?? [05:25] pavan blame your neighbors :) they are on same channel as you? [05:25] I installed kubuntu 7.10 from dvd, after that , in the middle of upgrade process some error occurred and the process failed, but now adept manager doesn't show any upgradable packages, what should I do? [05:25] Having some problems with getting Wifi to work in my ubuntu install, for whatever reason it has not been detected automaticly and I am running xfce.. I installed network-managed with the xfce-applets adddon [05:25] I was just thinking maybe I set something up wrong, but if "that should be all there is to it" then I'm guessing it's something with how the network admin at the datacenter has it set up. :-/ [05:25] But after modprobing the driver my card uses.. I think, its still not showing up [05:26] bulmer.. most likely we all are in the same channel.. i have a neighbor with unsecured connection.. which sometimes i use other than my own.. [05:26] slyboots, try aptitude update [05:26] i cant ping my router [05:26] Is there a way i can save my desktop open program and shut down and have everything theway it s [05:26] oops sudo [05:26] when i turn on the pc [05:26] oldude67: Whats that going to do? [05:26] can i make totem not open when i insert a dvd? [05:26] it fixed mine [05:26] Eisenheim: you'd have to be able to ping your router if you can get to google [05:27] ... Right.. [05:27] and it did the same thing [05:27] erawfish: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51987/ [05:27] pavan there you go, move to a diff channel [05:27] Okay, well it did not help this time Im afraid [05:27] thats what im not understanding [05:27] my head is going to blow [05:27] <_nix_> musikgoat: I cant ping my router even though I can open google [05:27] bulmer.. that makes sense.. will try it out.. [05:27] keith: system -> preferences -> removable drives and media [05:28] another major problem i have is that my Mic doesn't work .. [05:28] pavan i cant help you with sound, mine dont have any [05:28] pavan muted ? [05:28] any suggestions [05:28] slyboots, sorry wrong person...hard to keep up in this channel [05:28] i dont do wifi [05:28] Agent_bob: Flash? I dont need to instal flash :D [05:29] nickrud: Ok, those commands finished and the result is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51988/ [05:29] agent_bob.. i have the following when i run alsamixer in the console.. [05:29] MGalaxy it's probably what failed. [05:29] bulmer thanks for the thoughts on wifie [05:29] Eisenheim: what is your pc ip address? what is the routers ip address? pastebin your route -n results [05:29] Agent_bob, after disableing ipv6 temprorarily do i need to restart the interface ? [05:29] no sweat [05:29] ima noob [05:29] erawfish: thanks a lot for taking ur time to help [05:29] AussieHatter ummm i think so. [05:29] can anybody help me get vnc working on ubuntu server 6.06? [05:29] my router 192.168.0.1 [05:30] Eisenheim: nobs i usually ask to read a tutorial [05:30] erawfish even to it didnt werk :) [05:30] pc ip adress?? [05:30] tho* [05:30] k [05:30] you got a link to one [05:30] bye [05:30] nibsa1242: first glance looks good, let me look closer [05:30] Eisenheim not off hand, but on google look for ubuntu +network tutorial+tcpip [05:30] Agent_bob: I thing more than 40% of upgrade process has not done [05:30] agent_bob it shows 2 Capture devices & Input source.. both Capture devices are unmutted.. and the Input source is selected as Front Mic.. [05:31] <`2wn> how do i share a printer for use on linux computers (not samba) [05:31] nickrud: I have stuff now in my /boot and my /boot/grub directories, which seems promising. [05:31] nibsa1242: yeah, I want to make sure you got the rest, take a look at menu.lst while I'm doing that [05:31] `2wn: your cups is not broadcasting the services? [05:31] pavan ok the [mic-boost] is muted isn't it ? [05:31] nickrud: I'm mainly concerned about unable to resolve 'UUID=...' messages [05:31] <`2wn> bulmer how would i check that ? i'm using gutsy [05:32] hello , my download speed dropped a lot (from 200kbs to 15kbs) when i upgraded to Gutsy , help me ... [05:32] moad: your ISP might be doing bandwith throttling [05:32] `2wn: on the server hosting the printer localhost:631 and look also in /etc/cups cups.conf [05:32] Blender demands that I use a middle mouse button to navigate through the grid. Problem is. I HAVE NONE. I am using a laptop, and have no external mouse handy, ideas? [05:32] agent_bob .. i don't see any [mic-boost] entry [05:32] Starnestommy and whats that ? [05:32] MGalaxy blanket fix# sudo dpkg --configure -a && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [05:33] `2wn: cupsd.conf rather [05:33] nibsa1242: good catch. Check blkid (lists uuid's, don't mind me if I'm over explaining :) in a terminal against menu.lst and /etc/fstab . Shouldn't have changed since you didn't repartition anything [05:33] moad: when you download a lot, your internet service provider slows down your connection [05:33] <_nix_> Strangework: you may want to enable 3-button emulation [05:33] <`2wn> bulmer do you know of a package that will configure cups for me ? [05:33] _nix_: oooh! how I do that? [05:33] Is there a method of increasing the size of my Wubi Virtual Drive that I Created? [05:33] `2wn its called me, myself and I.. :) [05:33] Starnestommy : i have nod ownload limit , it was 200kbs yesterday , after upgrade it was 13kbs [05:34] `2wn do it yourself, lol [05:34] pavan hmmm that might be a problem. and you may have just out bid me. my alsa no how is next to knone [05:34] Is there some trick to getting songs on an ipod with gutsy? [05:34] <_nix_> Strangework: that is.. when you press both the buttons, the system thinks that the middle click is done.. its enabled somewhere in xorg.conf I'm not entirely sure [05:34] moad: I have no download limit either but my isp still slows down my connection after downloading a lot, but not as much as yours has [05:34] `2wn did you already browsed to localhost:631 ?

[05:35] who here has gotten Wireless to sucessfully work on ubuntu no troubles [05:35] asdfasdf i set my ipod to manage music manually.. and a plug in to gutsy.. just mounts the drive.. i think most Audio s/w in gutsy would recognize it [05:35] ? [05:35] MGalaxy only if you have disabled some of the repos [05:35] me [05:35] _nix_:okeee [05:35] hi all my ubuntu is stuck on 85% does anyone know what that is [05:35] agent_bob.. thx for your help [05:35] MGalaxy, what package are you trying to install? [05:36] nibsa1242: the only thing I saw that looked odd was grub-pc , but I see that's a new version of grub, no loss. Yes, repartitioning will change the uuid, grub should have found it correctly but fstab will need work [05:36] pavan welcome [05:36] Agent_bob: no, all repos are enable [05:36] the thing is it does recognize it and event transfer the files but it wont play on the ipod. It states that there are no songs. [05:36] pavan there is an #alsa channel [05:36] Michael74, what kind of wireless card is it? [05:36] Linksys [05:36] mikeylikesit5805, When loading into Ubuntu?

[05:36] agent_bob .. will check alsa channel out.. thx [05:36] sorry spock, when installing [05:36] nibsa1242: but if the menu.lst didn't find it, that's good to know [05:36] <_nix_> Strangework: yeah.. right.. hope that helps [05:36] so what do you suggest to do ? [05:36] <_nix_> soldats: yeah.. thanks [05:36] its been there for about 25-40 min now [05:37] mikeylikesit5805, Oh, How long is it stuck for, I had to wait half an hour once while it sat at 93 [05:37] moad: wait about a day or two, and it should go back to normal [05:37] Michael74, try the restricted drivers manager, it may be broadcom based if you are lucky, if it still doesnt work, let me know ill try to help you with it [05:37] mikeylikesit5805, No idea, What distro is it? [05:37] ok spock, i just let it sit, ive got nothing better to do [05:37] its xubnutu 7.10 [05:37] MasterShrek: restricted drivers for wifi? is that new? [05:37] mikeylikesit5805, I havent installed that one, Only 7.04.. [05:37] _nix_, ahh just wondering because i did the same thing just for fun eventhough i have a middle button [05:38] MasterShrek: strange to say 'lucky' in the same sentence as broadcom, isn't it [05:38] no problem thanks for the help well see what happens [05:38] @MasterShrek alright [05:38] Can someone tell me why i can ping my server with ip 192.168.1.200, and when i use other computer and try to ping same address is say destination host unreachable? [05:38] <_nix_> soldats: :-) [05:38] mikeylikesit5805, Sorry i couldn't help [05:38] the broadcom card should be recognized, my friend had a linksys broadcom based wifi card and it worked with that [05:38] ..:: I will look for a restricted driver [05:38] navlop: same lan segment? [05:38] spcok_ no problem [05:38] BTW why would you guys restrict it? [05:39] Is there a method of increasing the Wubi Virtual Drive size?? I have run out of space and need to extend it.... [05:39] yeah [05:39] Michael74, because the driver is proprietary, [05:39] navlop_ maybe because the other computer is not configured correctly [05:39] Michael74, actually the driver isnt, but the firmware is, the restricted drivers manager should fetch the firmware that you need [05:39] navlop: what is the ip addres of client, ? pastebin its route -n result [05:39] 冩冩兆兆冉典典儴儘儏儓! thats what I think about this [05:40] Michael74: ubuntu set up a special repository for stuff that have 'non-free' licenses, but deemed necessary for normal operation. The rest of the non-free is in multiverse [05:40] server = 192.168.1.23, comp1 = 192.168.1.22 <--works ok, comp2 192.168.1.20 <- doesn't reach host [05:40] all i cannot seem to get my mic working.. from alsamixer i think all entries are unmuted.. does anyone know if there is module that needs to be loaded for this?? [05:40] pavan: Intel HDA? [05:40] MasterShrek: does it make a different if the card we are talking about is the "Linksys Wireless-G USB Network Adapter with Speedbooster (WUSB54GSv2) [05:40] pavan, just your soundcard driver afaik [05:41] navlop: wait ta minute, you said earlier 192.168.1.200 ?

[05:43] Michael74, well what im looking for is the subsystem of the card, im not sure what driver you would need to enable for it [05:43] ϾYϿ [05:43] nix: thank you, but i'm not quite done questioning yet ;P [05:43] hi everybody [05:43] now, would there be any noticeable performance difference putting the swap at the end or the beginning of the drive? [05:43] <_nix_> Sol: you're welcome to screw it though ;-) just kidding.. [05:43] pavan: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Gutsy_Intel_HD_Audio_Controller may be helpful [05:44] nickrud: menu.lst seems to have it right, however, its set to the UUID of my /root directory not my /boot directory but I think that is the correct way to do things... at least that is how the computer I'm using right now (laptop) is set up [05:44] just a little question, who has a eee pc? [05:44] navlop: you seem to be so secretive of your lay out...what exactly is the correct ip addresses? btw prefix your responses to me with my nick or i will miss [05:44] hey spock_ it just skipped from 85 to 97% thanks [05:44] nix: oh, i just might! [05:44] scguy318 : You think my card is intel?? this is a AMD laptop [05:44] nibsa1242: nothing like the smoke test :) [05:44] bulmer k this is my setup 192.168.23.200 = server, comp1 = 192.168.23.140 <-works ok, comp2= 192.168.23.150,- host unreachable, but i can ping comp1 to comp2 and vice a versa [05:44] when is another person going to join this channle [05:44] pavan, my amd laptop has an intel card [05:45] how can i change the permission (using chmod) for all subdirectories within a directory ? [05:45] where are the multimedia settings? it says they are incorrect when i try to record sound [05:45] now, would there be any noticeable performance difference putting the swap at the end or the beginning of the drive? [05:45] bulmer subnet mask = 255.255.255.0, gateway= 192.168.23.1 [05:45] toresn_, chmod -R [05:45] isn't the normal permission 774? [05:45] HI all! Is there a way of removing a screensaver from the list? [05:45] navlop: how are these 3 host tied together? via a switch? a router? a hub? twisted cable? [05:45] nibsa1242: I haven't used a separate boot partition in a long time (and that was with lilo) so I don't know really [05:45] ɯɫF? [05:45] Michael74: I think it's 744 [05:45] yeah [05:45] <_nix_> Sol: I'm not sure but I think putting it in the beginning should increase performance [05:45] nickrud: well I still figure I need to reinstall grub onto the mbr, maybe... maybe not. I guess I can just restart and watch to see what happens. [05:46] Michael74, it all depends on waht file you are talking about, different files have different permisssions throughout the system [05:46] I need some help, turns out i need the make package, but in order to install it, i'll have to use the command make... [05:46] navlop_ it will help if you will diagram the setup. i.e. inet--dslmodem--lan0-box0-wlan0--router--wlan0-box1 or what ever you have. [05:46] nibsa1242: reinstalling the mbr wouldn't hurt anything [05:46] nickrud: I'm a fan of having at least /boot / /home and /var. [05:46] nano_, sudo apt-get install build-essential [05:46] navlop why is the gateway 192.168.23.1 ? not same as the server? [05:46] bulmer comp1, comp2, server ---> switch --->router [05:46] ѦӪӜӞ... [05:46] nano__: sudo apt-get install build-essential? [05:47] yes [05:47] :S [05:47] nix: ok thank you. and also, if i create a /home partition as well, i know i can do a clean wipe of the OS without deleting data, or vice versa i'm not sure which [05:47] <_nix_> Rice_Pud: broken keymap?? [05:47] no :0 [05:47] nickrud: I know it won't hurt, but I can't seem to do it from inside of the chroot anyway, so I'd have to burn a grub install disk. I think I'll just restart and see what happens. [05:47] nibsa1242: never have seen a need for a separate boot since lilo beat the 1024 mark, and it's really a pain when you have 32bit and 64bit ubuntu installed since they both use the same name for the kernel [05:47] hey can anybody help me with resolution settings (sort of) with an external monitor attached to my laptop? [05:47] i cant [05:47] nibsa1242: if you need to do it outside the chroot, I have a howto [05:47] navlop manage switch? any filtering done by the switch? access list? again pastebin the route -n result of the comp1 and comp2 [05:47] what is the card? [05:47] <_nix_> Sol: its a good idea to create a seperate /home partition.. yeah [05:47] bulmer 192.168.23.1 = router [05:47] if it is nVidia you will be in luck [05:48] nickrud: go ahead and give me the howto just in case... I'm rebooting now [05:48] Michael74 no it's intelgma [05:48] (just grab the nVidia software and change the res) [05:48] sound capture test gives: gconfaudiosrc ! audioconvert ! audioresample ! gconfaudiosink profile=chat: Could not open resource for writing. [05:48] otherwise it's going to be tuff [05:48] nix:alright, any ide how large? 1 gig? or is the /home partition where personal data is stored [05:48] +a [05:48] Michael74 intelgma he said [05:48] nibsa1242: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/hda If you got BIOS warnings try: grub-install --root-directory=/mnt/root /dev/hda --recheck [05:48] /home is for personal stuffs [05:49] (my computer has bad ping) [05:49] <_nix_> Sol: that really depends on you man... 1Gig may be good enough for me but different people have different need [05:49] <_nix_> s [05:49] Michael174 i'll tell you what happens...the resoultion is fine, except when i try to Fullscreen something (like a movie to watch) it won't completely full screen, because my resolution on external is 1680x1050 and my laptop goes up to 1440x900...so it "full screens" to the size of my laptop monitor (even though my laptop monitor doesnt show the entire desktop because 1680x1050 is too big) [05:49] nibsa1242: that's with the /boot mounted correctly in the chroot [05:49] ૱ગસ૦આ?... [05:49] sol how much free space are you playing with ? [05:49] nix: well i mean, i'm trying to get a good understanding of the filesystem [05:49] akorn, are you using compiz by chance? [05:49] bob: 465 gigs, wiped clean [05:50] akorn: so the monitor works until you watch a movie? [05:50] Rice_pud, your typing comes out as gibberish. [05:50] navlop manage switch? any filtering done by the switch? access list? again pastebin the route -n result of the comp1 and comp2 [05:50] nickrud: ok, If rebooting doesn't work I will try that [05:50] Rice_Pud: thai? [05:50] Hi room. Is it possible to have different user logins auto-connect to different networks? Everytime i change the network on one user login it affects the other. [05:50] MasterShrek yes [05:50] <_nix_> Sol: 465 gigs man... that awsome [05:50] MasterShrek: Ok what will that do? [05:50] akorn, disable it and it should work fine [05:50] Michael74 it works for movies too...what i mean is any screen that i try to fullscreen ( used movie as an example, but even this screen) won't entirely full screen [05:50] ധആഈ൧ൢൠ =\ [05:50] nix: Shiny new hdd, i've got another 200(186gig) that i've been using, though i thought it was time to get some more storage and make the switch from windows [05:50] nickrud yeah, I'll have to do that... got a grub error 15 [05:50] nano__, build-essential is a meta-package that installs all sorts of compilers and stuff, also make and other programs [05:51] akorn: try disabling compiz like MasterShrek said I think it will help [05:51] MasterShrek what i was doing before and it seems tow ork, is i'd log in, and then lower the resoultion, then reraise it back to 1680x1050 and fullscreen would work [05:51] <`KaNe> just wondering if anyone knows how to change the dcc ports on xchat? [05:51] <_nix_> Rice_Pud: broken keymap?? :P [05:51] MasterShrek: Ok but part of it failed to install [05:51] sol ok how about. 16g / (the root fs) 3g swap (swap space) 40g /home (user space) and the rest free until needed/wanted at which time you simply make an fs and mounted it where you need the space. [05:51] Chingpow... chung pung coah!!< --- means not really [05:51] <_nix_> Sol: gee.. I mean.. you can have about 200 Gs for your home partition anyway.. :-) [05:51] `KaNe: it picks random ports, iirc [05:52] `KaNe, settings > preferences > file transfers dcc start port and dcc end port [05:52] nano__, what part? [05:52] Michael74 MasterShrek yea it works when i disable compiz...i kind of want a solution though not a work around :) [05:52] _SERVER_ : FIX KEYMAP | USER Rice_Pud;_nix_ [05:52] does anyone know of an orange-on-black GTK theme? [05:52] How can I discover my DNS address? [05:52] akorn, try #ubuntu-effects [05:52] bulmer hear is the pastebin = http://pastebin.com/dab209a0 switch is un-mananged, no filters both computers report the same thing as the following paste bin [05:52] ണഢീ? [05:52] <_nix_> Grammaticus: cat /etc/resolv.conf would be a nice place to start with [05:52] nix: yeah i was thinkin that, i've got 40 gigs of tunes i've got to keep somewhere ;) [05:52] MasterShrek thanks [05:52] MasterShrek i just installed windows XP on my system that already had Vista and Ubuntu installed, and I loaded GRUB to be able to boot XP and Vista as well as Ubuntu, but whenever I go to the line that has Vista that I always used it boots into XP, and there seems to be no new entries to GRUB of XP [05:52] Grammaticus: which ISP provider? [05:52] hmmm, not sure [05:53] <_nix_> Michael74: what was that man?? [05:53] hey i'm having trouble upgrading from 7.04 to 7.10, getting an error that says Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/restricted/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1) [05:53] MasterShrek so I'm currently unable to boot into Vista [05:53] akorn: try installed compiz fussion it might be the better one [05:53] any idea why? [05:53] MasterShrek: I'm running 6.06 LTS... for now [05:53] bulmer, I'm using dial-up, in fact -- or attempting to. PeoplePC [05:53] Grammaticus_, /etc/resolv.conf should have the addresses of your dns servers. [05:53] bob: so theoretically i could make as many partitions as i wanted? [05:53] nickrud: Even if I install grub, I think I've got an error somewhere in the menu.lst file, the Super Grub Disk (its a boot disk of sorts) doe [05:53] MasterShrek, ah, great, but that would change the permission on the files within as well ? [05:53] MasterShrek: But im not sure .. lubuntu 5 [05:53] sol that will allow for later installation of what ever, and you can have a storage space of 100g that you can mount in /media/some/place [05:53] <_nix_> jungletech: does it say anything like.. not a gzip archive or something? [05:53] nibsa1242: good tool [05:53] nickrud: doesn't boot right if I use the menu.lst that was created [05:53] Michael74 just did that :) [05:53] MasterShrek, how can i change the permission on only the directories? [05:54] nano__: why are you running 6.06? [05:54] sol and still have lots of room to wiggle [05:54] bob: would there be some sort of conflict? i mean at most i'd like one for my music and one for other random junk, [05:54] RoshanK, pastebin your /boot/grub/menu.lst for me [05:54] akorn: and....... does it work correctly? [05:54] nickrud: I get error 15, file not found [05:54] toresn_, yes it would, i dont know about the directories [05:54] Grammaticus: you can nslookup peoplepc.com and look for their name server [05:54] sol none what so ever. [05:54] Michael74 i mean i just did that the other day haha [05:54] oh [05:54] nibsa1242: put up your menu.lst , sudo fdisk -l , and ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid [05:54] bob: like i said, i'm coming from windows, wouldn't it just make sense to format it all to one partition and fill it up as needed? [05:54] bulmer hear is the pastebin = http://pastebin.com/dab209a0 switch is un-mananged, no filters both computers report the same thing as the following paste bin [05:54] wait what? [05:54] <`KaNe> ok what is the best irc client to pick for ubuntu [05:54] sol the linux kernel cares not where you mount what kind of fs. so it's really flexable. [05:54] Michael74: it did fix video problems though...i used to have to turn off compiz to watch a movie because the movie would come out choppy otherwise, now it runs perfectly for that [05:55] nickrud: that'll be a few, need to wait for live cd to load [05:55] #ubuntu [05:55] i think it might have something to do with the restricted bit, but not sure why [05:55] where can I get php4 for gutsy (i know php4 is old, and Debian won't support it either but I need it) [05:55] navlop_: same for the server too? [05:55] `KaNe: xchat or irssi [05:55] Michael74: Windows was messed up, needed to put some OS on... teacher loves linux and had the live CD nearby so... [05:55] `KaNe, depends on what gui you want or if youwant gui at all [05:55] bulmer let me check [05:55] kenboo: You cant. You'll need to compile it [05:55] has anyone in here used vmware server? I presume I need both the server and the associated client package? [05:55] `KaNe: or konversation [05:55] hi all. Could somebody name the program that shows and saves into file configuration of computer(MOTHERBOARD, processor, cd-roms, etc.) ? [05:55] nibsa1242: I'll be around for about a half hour. Not a real grub expert, but I can do the simple checks [05:55] Flannel: uh so php4 package from Edgy doesn't install ? [05:55] <`KaNe> yeah but for some resone i cant configure dcc ports on xchat [05:55] for ubuntu... [05:55] <`KaNe> i have the gnome [05:55] Geoffrey2, u dont need the client unless you want to connect from other pc's [05:55] <_nix_> jungletech: you may want to try sudo rm -f /var/cache/apt/*.bin and then updating/upgrading [05:56] bob: ok so this is my final question for the night. I've downloaded gutsy, but i'm on a live cd [05:56] akorn: Uh, I suppose you could try it. Sure. Just know it's not supported. If that gives you issues, try using prevu (see !prevu) and "backporting" php4 from edgy [05:56] nano__: you can burn 7.10 to cd and upgrade without pain [05:56] <`KaNe> i was told to go to pereference and dcc but there is nothing to pick my ports [05:56] Geoffrey2, but i suggest virtualbox to vmware [05:56] MasterShrek http://pastebin.com/mb58fec7 is what i have [05:56] nano__: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download [05:56] Gnomes > Dwarves? [05:56] `KaNe, you should check out the xchat home page it explains how to do most of that stuff [05:56] sol not really it wouldn't because if you have seperate partitions then if you loose one fs the others are still usable and possably you can recover the lost data from the running system. where as if you make one partition and anything goes wrong, bye bye data and reloading the system wipes out everything. [05:56] bob: so i need to partition the drive now to save that for later burning (tomorrow) [05:56] <`KaNe> ok i will [05:56] Michael74: I will soon enough [05:56] Bye everybody! [05:56] ok , thanks. [05:57] <_nix_> fanat1k: lshw lspci lsusb etc.. lots of tools there [05:57] bob: ooh snap ok cool cool [05:57] RoshanK, also can you give me the device names /dev/xxxx of the partitions that show up as NTFS when you type: sudo fdisk -l [05:57] <`KaNe> im just used to using mirc but i want to ty somthing new since mirc dose not work good on linux [05:57] in .bash_profile I changed the default umask to 017. Can anybody around spot any problem doing this? [05:57] I'll probably download it tonight and put it on a little later [05:57] Does anyone know how to disable particular screensavers? [05:57] _nix_: lshw did not show motherboard's version :( [05:57] `KaNe, i forgot the exact address and i dont have to bookmark since im not on my Xubuntu hdd [05:57] sol some people even use seperate /var and /usr partitions for security reasons. [05:57] bulmer server route -n is missing the following line 169.254.0.0, 0.0.0.0, 255.255.0.0 U, 1000, 0, 0, eth0 [05:57] hmm. [05:57] s/to/my [05:57] <_nix_> fanat1k: you can even try dmidecode [05:57] <`KaNe> np thanks anyways [05:57] MasterShrek: crap what was that command to find out if my adapter mattered? [05:57] Michael74 this is weird, but if instead of double-clicking to maximize my window, i click the maximize button at the top right, it full screens [05:58] navlop_: can you pastebin it? easier for me to read [05:58] mastershrek: it was like network -l or something? [05:58] Michael74, lspci -v | grep Network [05:58] _nix_: ok, I'll try it now [05:58] bob: when i load the live CD tomorrow to burn this disc, would i have to remount the partition? [05:58] i'm having a bit of a problem of frame rate for an application i am developing, and i believe it's not code related, but it has to do with my graphical configuration [05:58] can anyone lend me a hand please? [05:58] MasterShrek http://pastebin.com/m2342ad5c [05:58] MasterShrek: I knew I missed a word [05:58] <_nix_> Decinoge: just ask man.. ;-) [05:59] Sol: So you want to use both Ubuntu and windows ? [05:59] I do [05:59] Or... what now? [05:59] sol so the way you set up an fstab (file system table) is really dependant on three things. 1 needs and avalable alternatives 2. knowledge of forseeable needs and options 3. the bad advice you get from otthers :) [05:59] Vista and Ubuntu 8.04 [05:59] _nix_ thanks for the idea, didn't seem to work though [05:59] makes a great team [05:59] how can i wine an application in another locale? [05:59] well for now i just need ubuntu and get my NTFS based data [05:59] Michael74: you were using a USB? use lsusb instead of lspci perhaps it would detect it [05:59] <_nix_> jungletech: ok.. maybe somebody else knows something here.. thanks for trying [06:00] gotta keep a backup incase Microsoft totally kills me off the loop. (VISTA IS SCARRY) [06:00] Sol: The live CD can read the NTFS drive --- or you can mount it again afterward [06:00] threefcata: i think it takes LANG. my wine runs in Japanese [06:00] Michael74: So you want to DB Vista and Ubuntu ? [06:00] well, its an SDL application (aka: game) and i get flutuating frame rates, and always lower than expected. i've tried to run some tutorials around the ubuntu forums, and i get 60fps... on the best cases. when people have 5000 up to 6000 with the exact same code [06:00] does anyone know of an orange-on-black GTK theme? [06:00] hi all if i have xubuntu installed on my laptop is there a way i can reinstall it through the command line? [06:00] bulmer: lusb? [06:00] bob: hahahaha ok [06:00] MasterShrek now i believe that sda1 is the vista recovery partition, sda2 was what I had vista on [06:00] kenboo, you mean specifying LANG as an argument? [06:00] and sda5 is XP [06:00] i have a nVidia 7400, and i'm running ubuntu on a vaio laptop. [06:00] RoshanK, http://pastebin.com/m669e30c1 try replacing your menu.lst with this one that i made for you [06:01] Michael74: yes to find the network stuff you were disccussing [06:01] www.gnome-look.org may have one nataku_ [06:01] RoshanK, thats what i think too, i set it up for you [06:01] LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 wine something.exe [06:01] MasterShrek: any real difference between VirtualBox and VirtualBox OSE? [06:01] Michael74: Now that I think about it, i did download 7.10 but when i booted it off a virtual drive it looked strictly command line? [06:01] I've searched art.gnome.org, gnome-look.org, and a couple others from top to bottom :( [06:01] bulmer: alright thanks [06:01] actually maybe I'll just poke around in the gtkrc file for a theme I already like [06:01] Geoffrey2, umm, ose is open-source-edition probably (im just guessing) the other is probably a corporate version u would have to pay for or something i spose [06:01] nataku_, I'm not familiar with themes myself, But you may try looking for halloween related ones. [06:01] nano_.what distribution,what about startx [06:02] ah good call actually [06:02] nano__: try burning it to a CD or mounting it, I'm not too fimilare with upgrading Ubuntu but it should recognize it [06:02] hold on [06:02] i have access to the nvidia x server settings, but i have no idea of what should i do...

[06:02] <`KaNe> ok i have a ubuntu question. i tryed the kde desktop but didnt like it and uninstalled it but everytime i boot up or shut down it still says kubuntu instead of ubuntu. even at the log in [06:02] <_nix_> Agent_bob: you call that dual boot?? [06:02] RoshanK, open a terminal and type: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst [06:02] bob: well right now i'm just going to mess around with ubuntu [06:03] Sol: You can test it in the live CD -- but I think Ubuntu has full read/write support for NTFS [06:03] Definitely read.... [06:03] cpudan80: possibly in 7.10 but the live cd i'm using is 6.10 [06:03] Hey everyone :) [06:03] Cpudan80 we have alread told him about ntfs-3g [06:03] Sol: Good grief - why ? [06:03] <_nix_> Librustralia: hello.. wussup [06:03] `KaNe: that is an interesting problem. You could try to reinstall ubuntu-desktop which may fix it. Someone might have a better solution in the channel too [06:03] !usplash [06:03] To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork [06:03] 7.10 is LTS - no?

[06:05] BYE EVERYBODY! [06:05] which incidentally I think is the date at which the LTS available ends so... really.. you might as well just use 7.10 in that case [06:05] One version at a time? Better get comfortable with 6.06 LTS [06:05] bye bye [06:05] Librustralia: and Winders now gives you the BSOD? [06:05] n2diy: and for some reason the windows partition is on my desktop has "sda1" [06:05] Cpudan80: yeah I think the next one is but I'm not sure [06:05] bulmer but i can log onto server from computer 1, but not computer 2 [06:05] n2diy: yep [06:06] Cpudan80: ubuntu yes, kubuntu no [06:06] !lts [06:06] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.

[06:08] Librustralia: Boot off your XP disk -- enter the recovery console (press R) and then do fixboot c: -- where c is your windows drive [06:08] MasterShrek: If it BSODd - it's out of grub's hands [06:08] hi, I'm having trouble getting java working in firefox... can anyone help me out?

[06:09] !webmin [06:09] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu.

It is the one I use and it is pretty alright, sorta buggy when using dual desktops, though [06:10] but ok [06:10] nibsa1242: the stuff in / should be links to /boot images [06:10] bulmer its like a gui so u don't have to edit all your files...lol...lazy man [06:10] md5sum mismatch install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz is this a knwon problem?

[06:10] bulmer lol [06:10] hey i just installed ubuntu 6.06lts, i know if i change my IP which is currently getting it's net info via DHCP it will break sudo. how should i go about preventing breaking sudo when i want to change my IP? [06:10] so if it picks it up having it how do i get it working [06:10] poli: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10761023/flashplugin-nonfree_9.0.115.0ubuntu2_i386.deb === Grammaticus_ is now known as Grammaticus [06:11] poli: install that package... it works well [06:11] bob: well thanks for all your help, i'll be back tomorrow when i get around to actually installing, it's sleepy time [06:11] :\ [06:11] Thanks, mates. [06:11] so how can i switch ips without breaking SUDO [06:11] nix: thank you as well for your help [06:11] xibalba: it breaks sudo? what? [06:11] can anyone help me get java working in firefox? [06:11] Hey people, is there a good online course for ubuntu certification? [06:11] can you download the sun java jre through synaptic ? [06:11] xibalba, i highly doubt changing your ip breaks sudo, that doesnt make a bit of sense [06:11] xibalba: what? are you logged in to same box now? [06:11] nickrud: the things in / are links to /boot. However, / is sda5, and grub's root is sda1 [06:11] where is the gui for the boot menu like the one in fiesty? [06:11] MasterShrek unfortunately it didn't work. When I tried going to the Windows Vista option it said "error 12: invalid device request" or something close to that, but there was a Windows XP option that did work this time [06:11] yeh it says something about not being able to resolve the proper host name [06:11] ubotu, ebox ? [06:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about ebox ? - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:11] Mastershrek: ok, is there a way to reformat the entire partition?

[06:12] ubotu, ty [06:12] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [06:12] how do i upgrade the kernel too ? [06:12] xibalba: maybe you typoed something? I've changed IP's a lot from static to dhcp, etc and never broken sudo. [06:12] <`KaNe> :) [06:12] sorry i'm a bsd zealout, new to ubuntu, but loving LTS so far [06:12] Librustralia, u may not have to, as Cpudan80 said, boot an xp cd and get into the recovery console and type: fixboot c: [06:12] ok I'll be back :) [06:12] dxdt if you can stick around in 10 minutes i'll change it and reboot it and show you what i mean [06:12] RoshanK, sda5 is vista right? [06:12] Good grief he wants to format the whole smash? [06:12] ubotu: I have java installed on my system, I just can't get it working in firefox... the plugin won't install [06:12] generally i have to login to single user, reset the root pass, then just use 'su' not sudo su [06:12] yeah... that can be done :-) [06:12] laughs too/wc [06:13] xibalba: yeah grab some error messages and stuffs [06:13] oops thanks for the help [06:13] no sda 5 is xp and i believe sda2 is vista [06:13] schnoowork: I have java installed on my system, I just can't get it working in firefox... the plugin won't install [06:13] MasterShrek no sda 5 is xp and i believe sda2 is vista [06:13] dxdt, does an apt-get upgrade grab the latest kernel too ? [06:13] nibsa1242: I'm not sure how grub deals with a separate boot partition, like I said I've never used one with it. But I tend to think you have problems with the mbr , you sure you wrote it correctly? [06:13] xibalba: you use it as sudo .. not as sudo su... [06:13] hmm [06:13] i use sudo su to drop into a root shell [06:13] versus just executing 1 cmd [06:13] with the ftp command in terminal [06:14] can you recursively get files ? [06:14] hi guys, is there a way to get NTFS write rights,while using the live CD? - I have a friend who needs to copy data from one drive to another [06:14] when i do an apt-get upgrade it shows me this. Building dependency tree... Done [06:14] The following packages have been kept back: [06:14] linux-image-amd64-server [06:14] xibalba i dont know what the side effects of that is, someone here earlier mentioned something bout a side effect which i already forget [06:14] why wont thunar copy my files from my internal HD to my external HD. There are two items in the folder that i try to copy and it only copies one, but i get no errors... any clues? [06:14] ok, not a problem. I found a general linux certification on an IBM site [06:14] Lokii-: why are you using ftp? Learn scp, it is much more secure. [06:14] what is the gui version of the boot menu.lst called so that I can change my timer please? [06:15] I just wish there was something specific to Ubuntu [06:15] n2diy i'm connecting to an FTP server [06:15] nickrud: I'm using my laptop, which also has a /boot directory as a guide... I think the mbr is fine. I'm going to "fix" what I think the problem is and then try to reboot. [06:15] olskolirc, its a config file that you edit, theres no "gui version" just use an editor [06:15] navlop_: now modify the /etc/network/interfaces for dhcp or static ip address you use [06:15] olskolirc, also you cant edit it without superuesr priviledges [06:15] bulmer, how do i install the new kernel? [06:15] linux-image-amd640server [06:15] MasterShrek, there is one in fiesty but I don't see one on this Gutsy [06:16] RoshanK, id suggest googling for vista in grub, see if the entry is missing something [06:16] nibsa1242: I don't see anything wrong with that menu.lst structurally. I haven't seen the uuid's so I assume you have those right. And using a working sample helps [06:16] xibalba I use the synaptic manager to get an update, anyhow i cant afford a 64bit yet..so not sure if its that much different [06:16] n2diy and thanks for not telling what i want to know but something that is of your own opinion you have been a big help thanks [06:16] synaptic? [06:16] Lokii-: scp is a secure version of ftp, whether works on an a ftp server, I can't tell you, it would be worth reading scp's man page to find out. [06:16] olskolirc: Try typing 'sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst' [06:16] i'm doing this all from the cmd line, no x/xorg [06:16] thanks [06:16] xibalba: then use sudo apt-get update [06:16] i don't want fucking scp otherwise i woulda asked about scp [06:17] pardon my language [06:17] bulmer, i try but it says. The following packages have been kept back: [06:17] linux-image-amd64-server [06:17] * LumBuntu is away: zzz [06:17] I'm hoping someone can help.

[06:17] xibalba: you are in a 64bit world, am not familiar with. sorry i cant assist [06:17] I've been trying to get this thing installed - anyone have anyone suggestions [06:17] Lokii-: Sorry for answering your question with a question, just trying to help you avoid trouble.

Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines [06:17] navlop_: now modify the /etc/network/interfaces for dhcp or static ip address you use for both comp1 and 2 , both are ubuntu right? [06:18] Cpudan80: I'm just familiar with gedit, horses for courses as they say [06:18] How do I turn off the system bell? [06:18] bulmer, [06:18] nibsa1242: using a separate boot isn't oddball, just not necessary :) [06:18] navlop_: and so as the server? [06:18] ballsack! new question! [06:18] you guys know of a good game emulator for n64, nintendo, and super nintendo? [06:18] how do i reconfigure the neetowkr>? [06:18] just in the /etc/network/ scripts?

[06:18] Kuwanger: You can also go in and find the device and forbid it --- but this way works for most all beeps [06:18] bulmer comp1 & 2 ubuntu, server used the server package [06:19] n2diy i been getting flak from people all day about ftp and the point is scp uses ssh/scp login which is not an option it doesn't work on an ftp server and besides ftp is faster transfers [06:19] oh yea zsnes not snes9x (thats windoze lulz) [06:19] telee: not the channel for that [06:19] xibalba also try to prefix your responses with the nick of the person you're talking to [06:19] hi guys, is there a way to get NTFS write rights,while using the live CD? - I have a friend who needs to copy data from one drive to another [06:19] bulmer, got it [06:19] for some reason, i'm not allowed to write to a partition i just created? [06:19] I have a Netgear 54 Mbps Wireless PC Card WG511 v2 - any ideas? [06:19] navlop_: as long as they are ubuntu, same file /etc/network/interfaces [06:19] all i would like to know is how to recursively get with ftp in command line as there is no decent ftp manager for nix [06:19] It is a shame that Ubuntu disregards dial-up users.

[06:21] xibalba: well there's still updates...i cant keep up myself [06:21] bulmer, supposedly this modem is simply not compatible with the OS. My efforts were in vain. [06:21] Sol: when you create a a partition and mount it with sudo, it has root permissions. You need to change the permissions of the directory you mounted it after you mount it.

[06:28] u mean Linux ? that Unix clone ? [06:28] i'm running it under vmware [06:28] I'm having trouble installing a 3rd party package for pidgin by the name of "bot sentry". Could anyone give me a hand installing it? I downloaded pidgin-dev, and compiled from source, but it has trouble making/installing the package for some reason. [06:28] xibalba: I understand all kernels support SMP now. [06:28] xibalba i dont know then, i have not had a dual core or dual cpu.. [06:28] nickrud: I got a grub error 1 that time, (filename must be either an absolute pathname or blocklist); could you give me the instructions again for installing grub to the mbr from inside of the chroot? [06:28] weird though that it shows up SMP when i set vmware to only give it 1 cpu [06:29] how do i restart the networking services? [06:29] i want it to re-run the networking scripts [06:29] bulmer what should it read then, followed example [06:29] /etc/init.d networking restart [06:29] nibsa1242: I cribbed it from https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [06:29] ty much [06:29] mmordz22 [06:29] xibalba, it doesnt matter, having an smp kernel on a single kernel machine is no problem at all [06:29] single cpu machine**** [06:29] xibalba: or something similar, i dont remember if ubuntu have init.d [06:29] xibalba: I'm not sure of the command now, but it is something like /etc/network/services restart [06:29] nickrud: ok thanks [06:30] yes its init.d but its all weird now, kinda a pain in the butt [06:30] navlop_: remove the network and broadcast lines from the server and see if it makes a diff [06:30] I'm at the art.gnome.org web site and I see this "drag and drop this into the gdmsetup tool" What is the gdmsetup tool?

I don't want to save so big file.. [06:46] Dark: one trick with XP is to turn off the virtual memory and disable system restore - (make sure you apply those settings ) then shut down - reboot and then defrag [06:46] fanat1k: not sure actually. man lshw has some stuff about choosing sections, but I didn't understand it on first reading and didn't study it [06:46] 34% of files were fragmented [06:46] The large chuncks can be from improper shutdowns [06:46] techgeek: i dont have system restore on lol [06:46] ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh [06:46] 'allo [06:46] mmordz22: Ops... looks complicated the openmosix, any step by step tutorial for ubuntu 7.10???

[06:46] techgeek: Ok [06:47] Quick question... i'm sure its been asked many times by now... do grub and vista play nice? [06:47] ahhh I ran FIXMBR and now when I boot, it says "invalid partition table" [06:47] (im on the live CD right now) [06:47] i use grub and vista just fine [06:47] :( [06:47] Hey - program to close a whole HDD and put it on another one? [06:47] clone [06:47] ! grub | Librustralia [06:47] julabask: did you have vista installed first? [06:47] n3diy: ok [06:48] JMhaha: i dunno :( u must comile your own kernel to get OpenMosix working. this is pretty easy but its hard IMO to make working kernel for Ubuntu - coz u need some magic options for loading "initrd.gz" on Ubuntu booting :/ [06:48] Ransid: yes i'm triple booting right now with grub (ubuntu/vista(vista/xp)) [06:48] Librustralia: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [06:48] if u know how to make a kernel for ubuntu and how to handle with Ubuntu initrd.gz then this is easy [06:48] never a problem accept if you are tripple boot xp vista and linux like me it sends you into a second boot manager where you select xp and vista [06:48] ubotu: noo I can't access either of my partitions now [06:48] Hey - program to clone a whole HDD and put it on another one? [06:48] Noogen: Righteous! I had quite the tribulations with installing XP after vista... I didnt want another headache.. Thanks for the information :) [06:48] mmordz22: initrd.gz is a cpio archive [06:49] mmordz22: Any easier solution... I do not wanna my files corrupt after compiling openmosix into kernel [06:49] Dark: Well, it's the same one you used - sorry :< I flopped on that one [06:49] no [06:49] ubotu: because I ran FIXMBR and now the partition table is invalid [06:49] Ransid: yes you do, or you'll have to use custom program to modify boot for vista [06:49] Lib: did you do Fix /mbr??? [06:49] or fixmbr [06:49] lol is he really a bot? [06:49] Librustralia: lets try this, boot into your liveCD [06:49] lib: who is a bot lol [06:50] yeah because vista is the bad guy here, xp first allow vista to boot xp, then grub will boot vista [06:50] JMhaha: get some live-cd with openMosix support :) [06:50] techgeek: woot i got my 11GB back i think i delelted those files [06:50] Ubotu is the bot. [06:50] Sorry, I don't know anything about is the bot. - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [06:50] techgeek40: yes, it now says "invalid parition table" and i cant access any partition [06:50] bulmer: yes, im on my live cd right now [06:50] SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP I CAN'T BOOT VISTA AND UBUNTU TELLS ME THAT THERE WAS AN ERROR LOADING GNOME SETTINGS DAEMON (sorry for the caps, I just needed somone attention) [06:50] Ubotu Ubotu [06:50] I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots [06:50] Lib: are you running any type of boot utilitiy? [06:50] Librustralia: okay, now do a fdisk -l and see if it recognizes your hard disk [06:50] noogen: yes i do want a headache? ;) - and erm... grub DOES solve the boot problem I had with XP after vista, correcto? :) [06:50] bulmer: in the terminal? [06:51] Ransid: no [06:51] RansidMeat how did you fix that [06:51] blumer: oops - forgot about that one - thanks [06:51] Librustralia: yes in a terminal [06:51] Ransid: xp after vista is a problem [06:51] techgeek: my computer just sped up because i was down to 28GB Physical memory.. [06:51] RansidMeat I'm having that problem right now [06:51] Roshank: i used vista's restore [06:51] RansidMeat, no did not but vista has its own boot manager if you have both xp and vista which it automatically uses if you have those two so if you only have vista it will show in grub but if you have xp and vista grub will say after the linux selection windows os and that will send you to vista boot manager where you can select between xp and vista. this setup is very stable and has worked for me for a long time [06:51] Roshank: pop in your vista disk and do a 'recover' or.. sumawhatsa [06:51] is there ways to look at "traffic" on a network? [06:51] RansidMeat but the disc i got was a recovery disc from the manfacturer so I couldn't do it [06:51] Ran: the Bootrec.exe /FixMbr?

[06:59] but i'm going to try and edit grub, and yes i know it's risky but i don't have much of a choice [06:59] can you access it? buy an external hd and move it over there [07:00] Librustralia: maybe there are some tools out there, but i have not used them myself, like ultimate boot cd, and partition magic maybe [07:00] external hd are cheap these days [07:00] why vim not so great [07:00] Anyone know if mozilla seamonkey is on any repositories? I can't install it because of a dependency hell. [07:00] 500gb / 150$ [07:00] ooo [07:00] bulmer: how about gparted? [07:00] nickrud: Its booting! [07:00] yeah newegg should have it for $130 [07:00] Librustralia: you can give it a try, im not familiar with it [07:00] can a Op Help me file a bugfix Ubuntu keep saying i cant post [07:00] !logs [07:00] Channel logs can be found at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ - Logs for LoCo channels are at http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/freenode/ - See also « /msg ubotu ircstats » [07:01] bulmer: ok [07:01] nickrud: I guess you left, too bad. You really helped with my tricky situation.

[07:02] yes RansidMeat [07:02] julabask hiddenmenu [07:02] get to what? [07:02] RoshanK: so what all do you have right now on the system? vista + linux + xp? or just vista + linux? [07:02] nibsa1242, because Im gunna move Ubuntu to a partion so... i usualy have problems elaborate please [07:03] well i had vista + lunx and i just installed xp [07:03] but i can't boot into vista anymore [07:03] so you can boot into xp? [07:03] so i am attempting to edit grub [07:03] anyone know how to watch divx feeds with mozilla? [07:03] RoshanK, you can't [07:03] your best bet is this: http://apcmag.com/5045/how_to_dual_boot_vista_with_linux [07:03] Darkmystere_ My /boot partition got formatted. So I had to reformat it, restore all the files it used to have on it, and reinstall grub. Most of that was done from inside the live cd in chroot. [07:03] because of vista [07:03] yea i know their is no word that starts with an h even in my boot script for ubuntu standard boot so it seems to not be the problem [07:04] !divx [07:04] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:04] RoshanK: i think my best advice is to back up anything especially important and go back to factory settings [07:04] Does anyone know how to access a hosed hardrive? :( [07:04] you will need to learn to use EasyBCD to edit boot for all 3, linux, vista and xp [07:04] or is familiar with gparted or other programs? [07:04] nibsa1242, OMG i had somthing like that before but it was more around the bush lol [07:04] using the vista (Windows boot manager) [07:04] bulmer, yea i know their is no word that starts with an h even in my boot script for ubuntu standard boot except the hd so it seems to not be the problem [07:04] why my comments looks like if as nobody could read them [07:04] Noogen i am unable to do that [07:04] nibsa1242, Want me to explain? [07:05] julabask: then ctrl+alt+f1 to f4 and see if you see the streaming dmesg through it [07:05] RoshanK: from there i would say install XP before anything else - from what i have seen you can go forward in time, not backwards [07:05] Noogen RansidMeat, i will try and borrow my friends Vista DVD if anything goes really wrong with this though [07:05] hello everybody. can somebody help me with this? I have installed a molecular viewer program called SPDBV ... and when I run it the terminal say me "Fatal Error: Unable to create /home/#####/.Latitude as BootDrive, err=-5000" [07:05] Does anyone know how to use gparted? [07:05] Darkmystere_ it was not fun, but everything seems to be fine now... I'm booting and its fdisking everything it seems. go ahead and explain [07:05] Librustralia: you have to google for some help now.. [07:05] RoshanK: i'm sorry to hear you cant repair it thru vista's thingy ;\ [07:05] bulmer: ok [07:06] fraroco: permissions on that directory? ls -al directory [07:06] that seemed to fix me up right [07:06] Librustralia: I use it [07:06] RansidMeat that's alright thank you though [07:06] RoshanK: Good Luck! [07:06] RoshanK: why not? can you boot into xp? [07:06] nibsa1242: Do you know how to repair hardrives with it? [07:06] thanks you RansidMeat i may need it [07:06] bulmer, okay what is the streaming dmesg. after i do ctrl+alt+f1 to f4 will i loose my graphical user interface of the os or will i be fine and how do i get back if i do. [07:06] RansidMeat: Hello Self [07:06] Noogen i can but i can't fix vista's bootloader [07:06] Librustralia: what is wrong with your hd? [07:07] oh so you tried easybcd? [07:07] i am attempting to edit grub now so please do wish me luck, but i have a question before i do it [07:07] ic [07:07] RoshanK: idea... what did you install last?

[07:07] nibsa1242: and [07:08] bulmer, thanks i will be back and tell you if i see anything [07:08] testing [07:08] RoshanK: try and reinstall ubuntu or something [07:08] nibsa1242: I tried to fix it by running FIXMBR [07:08] musikgoat, what do you mean? [07:08] RoshanK: perhaps thru the process of installing grub again or something... it will scan and SEE xp or vista or something and fix itself [07:08] RansidMeat, http://pastebin.com/m6eccdf57 [07:08] PM the code :) [07:08] err ok [07:08] anyone have tips for getting 32bit apps to compile when running amd64, I seem to be having some issues [07:08] nibsa1242: and then I couldnt access my ubuntu or windows partition [07:08] you may have to give write permissions to allow the program to write to that directory [07:08] fraroco: [07:08] that's what i get frm fdisk -l [07:08] Librustrial: try fixboot in recovery console [07:08] nibsa1242, so i go and reinstall wubi loosing documents ect for the 3rd time... so i reinstall and then the power goes out really fast guess what our favorite error so i defrag but this time nothing happens so... i boot up live cd and search fourms [07:09] now i will show you what i have in grub that MasterShrek told me to edit [07:09] xp recovery console that is [07:09] Allrigiht [07:09] nibsa1242: and now it says "invalid partition table [07:09] Noogen: Ok I'll try that [07:09] is there any way to make it so that with twinview, windows remember that they were on the right screen? [07:09] Darkmystere__: I have a battery backup to avoid those sorts of things. [07:09] The playback of this movie requires a XVID MPEG-4 decoder plugin which is not installed. [07:09] fraroco: sudo chmod a+w /home/xxx/.latitude [07:09] nibsa1242, guess what NOTHING changes so... i mess around and then i notice there are 2 files that Windows doesnt see they where left over by chkdsk /f [07:09] Noogen: wait i remembered, I ran fixboot c: [07:09] RoshanK: you are looking in menu.lst, right?

[07:10] Does anyone know where to aquire a xvid mpeg-4 decoder plugin? [07:10] Noogen: I ran that before fixmbr [07:10] now if i change that line for Vista to (hd0,2) it could work right? [07:10] fraroco: yes [07:10] nibsa1242, i go into windows and get a program so itl see them nothing so i call up a good friend he comes over we work for hours guess wat no luck... then i get to the point im really annoyed [07:10] RansidMeat now if i change that line for Vista to (hd0,2) it could work right? [07:10] Noogen: should i just run fixboot instead of fixboot c:? [07:10] how do i get apt-get to upgrade linux-image-server ? [07:10] Librustralia: do you know what your partition table looked like before, because if you didn't you really aren't going to be able to fix stuff... do a paste bin of sudo fdisk -l for me [07:11] !mpeg-4 [07:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about mpeg-4 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:11] RoshanK: i'm reading it and thinking, hang on a sec [07:11] !mpeg [07:11] For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats [07:11] musikgoat, It worked ... yujuu.. thank... so easy ...!! thanks a lot! [07:11] how long does it normally take to rip a dvd to an avi/mp4? [07:11] dn4: It is in either the good the bad or the ugly in synaptic. I don't remember which though, search for those and if you want, just install them all. [07:11] !upgrade kernel [07:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about upgrade kernel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:11] depend, i think fixboot c: would be better if c is your xp and active part [07:11] nice [07:11] nibsa1242: when I type fdisk -l, nothing comes up :( [07:11] hi! [07:11] !kernel upgrade [07:11] Sorry, I don't know anything about kernel upgrade - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [07:11] 2 passes [07:11] Librustralia: you have to run it as root... sudo fdisk -l [07:11] RoshanK [07:11] oh lol [07:11] any takers on my newb question? [07:11] dangit! sorry i keep hitting enter [07:11] upgrading the kernel [07:11] yes RansidMeat [07:11] nibsa1242, i get on the live cd about to break my labtop with drowning lol and i try the first thing came to mind guess what i found in those files windows didnt see the disk file that was missing so i drag it into the ubuntu file from the live cd (i mounted windows) and then reboot and try and go into ubuntu Guess what IT WORKS!!.... i was soo flustrated that it was that easy.. [07:12] i know i know [07:12] !flood | darkmystere [07:12] darkmystere: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [07:12] apt-get install linux-image-server? [07:12] RansidMeat were you about to say something? [07:12] nibsa1242: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51992/ [07:13] lol sorry :P - what i ran into is... grub is gonna tell (hd0,2) to boot, and if you installed XP to another partition but had a primary boot disk other than that which xp was being installed on... or perhaps another partition... the boot.ini has been written there [07:13] how do i change the size of the font in my TTY sessions [07:13] nibsa1242, u should understand my flustrosity by now... and now im having defragmenting problems... Soo annoying im begining to think Windows is Jealious.. [07:13] RansidMeat so should i just try anyway? [07:13] so essentially, hdd0,2 may have vista installed, but a boot.ini pointing to hdd1,2 or anywhere [07:14] Soo [07:14] how do i upgrade my kernel [07:14] lets try to modify boot.ini [07:14] look in your vista install [07:14] locate 'c:\boot.ini' does it exist? [07:14] ohh right now for some reason i'm not able to mount ntfs partitions [07:14] phreck: umm the only good way I know would be adding a framebuffer line to the kernel line like vga=773, however, this can cause issues on certain hardware. For example my laptop has an ATI card that when I enable the framebuffer to get nice pretty tty's, I lose the abillity to sleep and hibernate [07:14] test [07:14] Ugh! [07:14] nibsa1242: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51992/ :\ [07:14] well i dont know how to without it automatically doing it [07:14] none of these sites answer my question [07:14] do you have more than 1 hdd in your computer? [07:14] RansidMeat no [07:15] bollocks [07:15] I come back to my computer with a window that says "Monitor is in Power Save Mode". What is this about? [07:15] well [07:15] dpms [07:15] http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51992/ :( [07:15] Somebody could help me? I need the program that could view all computers in my network and to make a list of computers and it's hardware [07:15] Librustralia: That doesn't look good. I'm not really sure how to help you, or if you can be helped. It looks like your partition table is messed up, and unless you know what cylinders the partitions started and stopped on before this mess its probably a lost cause. [07:15] are you on a ubuntu livecd? [07:15] no [07:15] bulmer, it did not do anything [07:15] are you in xp? [07:15] RansidMeat I appreciate your help but I have to sleep soon so I will try this tomorrow morning [07:16] no I'm in ubuntu [07:16] none of them did anything to my boot up [07:16] nibsa1242: oh damn :( would gparted be able to fix it? [07:16] goodnight and thank you very much for the help [07:16] its all good [07:16] i must warn you [07:16] phreck: however, if you like to try it, check out /boot/grub/menu.lst and associated files and such [07:16] julabask: you dont see your dmesg flow trhough those consoles? [07:16] i'm not gonna be here tomorrow [07:16] PM [07:16] is it hard to upgrade the kernel? [07:16] no [07:16] Somebody could help me? I need the program that could view all computers in my network and to make a list of computers and it's hardware for ubuntu... [07:16] bulmer, nope just black screen [07:16] RansidMeat ok I will try and find someone but I thank you dearly [07:16] Darkmystere__: Windows is annoying, thats why I sacrificed a whole hd to it. Just to keep it separate. [07:16] jetscreamer, how do you go about doing it [07:16] xibalba: what does uname -a give you? Are you on the latest kernel? Mine usually updates automatically for me when needed through the update manager [07:16] julabask pastebin your menu.lst [07:17] Lib: what did you do? agreed with nib, that part table is messed up [07:17] roshank [07:17] ahh crap! [07:17] oh well [07:17] in advance desktop effect i have wirte on screen fire selceted but nothing happens how i get ir to work [07:17] fanat1k: hey try belarc advisor [07:17] Librustralia: Have u tried Force Mount if ur trying to mount it or u trying to defragment it? or just tell me ur problem even better [07:17] dxdt it says, Linux ubuntu 2.6.15-26-server #1 SMP Thu Aug 3 04:09:15 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux [07:17] Librustralia: I'm pretty sure a problem of that type is only fixable if you know where the boundaries of the partitions should be. [07:17] dxdt, is this the most up2date version? [07:17] alguem on line ae? [07:17] nibsa1242, well i was gunna make it so Ubuntu has 30GB and windows have 40GB [07:18] RansidMeat: do u know where to get it? [07:18] or 20 [07:18] jason_123: have you installed CompizConfig? [07:18] bulmer, paste what in my menu.lst [07:18] that's kind of hard to remember [07:18] yes i do [07:18] anyone speak portuguese or spanish? [07:18] julabask pastebin your menu.lst everything, remove passwd if needed be [07:18] what is your set key combination? [07:18] xibalba: no, at least, I'm on 2.6.22-14 [07:18] Librustralia: since you don't seem to know that, and I don't think there is a way to detect that automatically, you just need to pray you have a back up of anything important. [07:18] dxdt , so how do i go about updating the kernel? when i do apt-get upgrade it says it isn't doing the pkg linux-image-server [07:19] bulmer, what is pastebin how do i do that [07:19] jason_123: for example, I have it mapped to ++F [07:19] !pastebin | julabask [07:19] julabask: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [07:19] xibalba: oh, just do like dist-upgrade and I think that will then do it for you. [07:19] fanat1k: http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html [07:19] xibalba: instead of just upgrade [07:19] are you in windows? [07:19] i know... nasty question to ask in here:P [07:20] Darkmystere__: I have 2 hds, a 250GB and a 320GB. Ubuntu boots from the 250, Win from the 320. Each has a swap partition on the other's hd, and there is a Ubuntu storage partition on Win's hd, however, for the most part they are separate. [07:20] hey - can anyone tell me how i can install kde4 on a ubuntu gutsy installation for testing? So i can choose on boot/login wether to use kde or gnome? [07:20] dxdt, what is the diff between dist-upgrade and upgrade? [07:20] Darkmystere__: Well I had a ubuntu 130GB partition and 20gb windows partition and my windows partition came up with a BSOD whenever I tried to boot into it. Then I came onto this channel and someone said I should use fixboot c: and i ran that and then I couldn't get into any partition and then I went on my livecd and went back on this channel and someone told me to run fixmbr and now when I book up my comp it says "inval [07:20] id partition table" :( :( :( and I can't access anything [07:20] RansidMeat: it is windows application :( I need to run it in Ubuntu [07:20] lurkersa i dont know how do i find out the map key thing [07:20] fanat1k: sorry, yes, it was my first instinct [07:20] xibalba: check the man page for more details, but in short in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages [07:21] hello ,everybaby [07:21] nibsa1242, im trying to work with what i got because im getting a Macbook Pro Probally this summer and gunna make this 1 almost entirely windows maybe like 10GB left for windows just in case for gaming ect [07:21] awesome, i'll just wait a while to upgrade that though [07:21] nibsa1242, * entirely ubuntu lol [07:21] RansidMeat: ok... I'll keep trying to find it... [07:21] Librustralia: you are pretty much going to have to give up and reinstall Windows & Ubuntu. Install Windows 1st. [07:21] dxdt, any huge security issue in the kernel between these 2 ersion?s [07:21] Darkmystere__: that is probably a good call, rumor has it new bitchin' macbooks are going to be announced tomorrow. [07:21] lurkersa how do i map the keys [07:21] jason_123: go into your CompizConfig, click "Paint Fire On Desktop", Click into the 'Actions' Tab [07:21] argh [07:22] I don'thave any backups.....l [07:22] jason_123: then expand the "general" Settings [07:22] :( [07:22] xibalba: ummm nothing major that I"ve ever seen. I'm sure there are minor fixes here and there, but I haven't heard of a major kernel issue that has affected a normal user in a while actually. I don't know. [07:22] Darkmystere__: I have windows mainly for compatibility/ business reasons. However, I occasionally game in it. [07:22] dxdt: yep im gunna put ubuntu on macbook also =) its easier it has bootcamp lol also i want to experiment with a mac itd be my first time [07:22] Librustralia: Try SuperGRUB Disk [07:22] LurkersA: ok :D [07:22] bulmer i put my menu.lst in the pastebin do i just send you the link or what, the url is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51993/ [07:22] Librustralia: It has a recover partition tables setting I believe [07:23] all: thanks for the reinforcement that grub plays nice with vista, i'm gonna put ubuntu on my computer tomorrow :) [07:23] LurkersA: :O [07:23] Darkmystere__: me too! I was going to get another PC laptop, but then I thought "Hell I should get the mac just because it is something I've never done before in life" so I'm gonna do the same probably shortly after the keynote speech so I don't get an old product instead of a new one [07:23] nibsa1242, root.disk has serious fragmentation lol the entire defrag step has been on c:\ubuntu\disks\root.disk [07:23] dxdt, great, i'm going to put my secondary mail server on ubuntu 6.06lts. i have high hopes from it [07:23] erm computer == new laptop :\ [07:23] it appears to be the only frigging stable linux os that doesn't change every week and that i can keep in place for YEARS without having to touch it [07:24] versus fedora crap N, which is frigging obsolete in 6 months [07:24] xibalba: lol Debian [07:24] dxdt:lets go to ubuntu offtopic so we can talk and people wotn get on our ass lol [07:24] i'm glad they have this LTS server edition [07:24] xibalba: that is the whole joke with Debian, nothing changes ever [07:24] LurkersA: Librustralia: I don't remember seeing an option for fix partition table in super grub disk, but it does have lots of menus [07:24] it say shift+super+c [07:24] dxdt: you should get an old macbook for like 300 bucks and enjoy modding it out :D [07:24] what is super [07:24] dxdt, coming from BSD land i dont like things ot change too often [07:24] lurkersA: I think this might work, it says "recover your linux boot" :D [07:24] :( [07:24] julabask: you were not looking carefully, i said hiddenmenu, it is there, it is commeted which is okay, now remove the quiet so you will see the dmesg at boot [07:25] Librustralia: Another option is PartedMagic.

[07:42] Hey, quick question, it seems that my xorg.conf gets overwritten everytime I reboot, so my changes doesn't stay. Is this an ubuntu thing or is my system configured in a special way here? [07:43] vontux: if you look hard enough, you can understand what partimage does and simply use dd piped to gzip or the compression program of your choice for a backup [07:43] anybody know where I should put the flashplayer.xpt (flash browser plugin)?

[07:43] Just a quick question, KDE4 won't run correctly after the (supposedly automatic) install, which apparently didn't install kdebase-runtime, so I'm trying to manually install that and encountering errors [07:44] vontux: I don't really know.

So you really aren't savnig a whole lot of time via the CD (if any) [07:52] Okay I've got Parted Magic on a CD now [07:52] I'm going to go try it out now, cya everyone and thanks for the help!

[08:38] kaboombob: cat /proc/modules [08:38] Armageddon: your question is not clear, did you finish the install? [08:38] kaboombob: Aren't lsmod command for that [08:38] yes, now it asks for password and login, after that it has a $: thing [08:39] I dunno what to write [08:39] Armageddon: startx? [08:39] Armageddon, try typing "startx" [08:39] kk [08:39] Armageddon: Is this a server install CD? Or did you install the command line only version from the alternate CD? [08:39] Or try typing apt-get install gdm :P [08:40] okay here is what i get as a problem how do i fix it?: robert@robert-laptop:~$ sudo rmmod ehci_hcd ERROR: Module ehci_hcd does not exist in /proc/modules [08:40] kaboombob: that means its not loaded [08:40] hey [08:40] whats the diff between ubuntu and edubuntu [08:40] !info edubuntu [08:40] kebinusan how do i load it?

[08:41] what does it have that is specifically aimed at classroom use? [08:41] 7.10 works good, i have no problems with it, [08:42] firefoxIE: maybe young students, but really for schools...

[08:42] But.. if I was a school admin, I'd want to lock down the computers as much as possible, ya know? [08:43] fla you know the point [08:43] flamesage: LTSP allows you to do that.

Of course, non-thin clients allows you to do that as well. I don't see hwo "locking down" is contradictory to anything else [08:43] QUESTION: how the heck can I install flash on Ubuntu 7.10 64? (The automatic installer script is down.) [08:43] is the symbolic link in usr/src going to linux header file or the linux header generic? [08:43] Armageddon: Did that CD boot to a GUI? [08:44] I used a non CD version [08:44] !xubuntu | Tyroazard [08:44] Tyroazard: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome.

[08:45] so basically edubuntu isn't as comprehensive in terms of features as ubuntu? [08:45] its just a server? [08:45] yea, where you download it, and use ISO to m ake it seem like itès a CD [08:45] Okay. [08:45] does anyone here knows where i can get information about setting up ubuntu for C++ programmin? (ide, console) [08:46] Uh, I guess the alternate CD thing made it work [08:46] firefoxIE: No, thats wrong. Theyre both just as capable. Edubuntu can install as a regular system, or as the LTSP/thin-client thing.

[08:52] Tyroazard: I don't even bother with the desktop CD anymore. Alternate always works. Its a safe bet [08:53] Shadowpillar_: [08:53] Just curious though, but what's the difference between the alt CD and the desktop CD? [08:54] Tyroazard, the alternate uses a commmand line installer [08:54] I had similar issues installing my ubuntu... turns out they all were caused by poor ATI driver support.

[09:05] you can get it pretty easy if you want it tho [09:05] ok I have 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14 genetic, and I canèt get to desktop [09:05] jsut gooleit [09:05] *sigh* ..I do miss Ubuntu.. [09:05] Armageddon: You need ot tell us exactly what you did to get to here. Without that, we can't really help [09:05] does 7.10 have a default firewall? Ive directly connected a machine with 7.10 to one with 6.04 and can ping from 6.04 to 7.10 but not the other way around. [09:05] !firewall | wopwop [09:05] wopwop: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE). [09:06] wopwop: no rules by default [09:06] I downloaded the top of this page [09:06] http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html [09:06] wopwop, as far as i'm aware, although a firewall is supplied, its not turned automatically [09:06] armageddon try pressing ctrl+alt+F7 [09:06] wopwop: As of 6.10 (I believe), avahi is enabled by default [09:06] Flannel, it probably is, but why does kftpgrabber support fxp client-to-client connections and ftp via tls then? [09:06] gnome or kde which one is better [09:07] firefoxie its up to you [09:07] ubotu: thanks. Im a bit stuck. Need to use scp to copy some files but can ping only one way.

[09:07] I downloaded the top of this page [09:07] http://lubi.sourceforge.net/unetbootin.html [09:07] firefoxIE: thats like asking if waffles or pancakes are better [09:07] unicum: FTP can be tunneled through TLS. It still uses TLS, and still will be encrypted (from what I understand). [09:07] well, how do i do that in filezilla? [09:07] so I donèt go insane can someone privatly help me [09:08] plz [09:08] wopwop ubotu is a bot [09:08] kaboombob: oh how embarrassing [09:08] wopwop: You'll need to install openssh-server on the box you want to scp to [09:08] its ok i found it amusing [09:08] hallo [09:09] im having a problem getting my panasonic mp3 player to connect to my computer, im using 7.1, and it says failure to mount, its a usb device and "sudo rmmod ehci_hcd" isnt working, any help would be nice [09:09] ok, if you installed and fèd up how do I reinsall ubuntu on my computer [09:09] Armageddon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation follow the four steps at the top of that page [09:10] Armageddon, do you have access to a cd burner? if you do, you're best bet is to download the ubuntu livecd and install using that [09:10] I alrwady installed something though [09:10] kaboombob; I've got the same problem mounting mp3 player - ERROR: Module ehci_hcd does not exist in /proc/modules...any thoughts anyone?

[09:11] lmnts: thinkwiki has a good piece on how to keep the service partition [09:11] how do I reinstall what command cause !install does not exist [09:11] is there any way to convert from an xfs with internal metadata log to an external one without reformatting ? [09:11] Flannel: Will have a look. [09:11] lmnts: i have vista and ubuntu installed on my t61p, first ubuntu then vista [09:12] Armageddon: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation [09:12] Buyydee: Did you use the recovery installation-method for Vista (to get all the neat features with the factory-installation)? [09:13] Armageddon, Download a proper LiveCD from the ubuntu website, burn that to a cd, then restart your computer with that cd and the computer will run Ubuntu, when it starts up, the desktop will have an icon to install ubuntu [09:13] lmnts: no, i manually installed vista and recovered grub afterwards [09:13] lmnts: i got my thinkpad without os [09:14] cpu just hit 100% with only gaim running [09:14] Buyydee: Ok. I want to retain the Lenovo specific software in Vista. And hopefully even retain the possiblity to reinstall Vista with the service partition. [09:14] petering out to 76% [09:14] zenobius open a terminal and type 'top'. See what is running that cpu so hard [09:14] zenobius, what process is using it? [09:14] lmnts: the software piece is easy: just go to lenovo and download the utility manager there, it will install all features (wlan, battery applet...) automatically [09:15] sorry i have also : tilda, conky and webboard. using gnome on a dual desktop in framebuffer mode...interesting [09:15] lmnts: i haven't heard of a service partition before, cannot help you there [09:15] ahhh and ... pinot at 64% [09:15] Hello. I seem to have hung the Ubuntu altnernate installer. I was setting up a moderately complex bit of partitioning, it told me it wanted to finalise the RAID setup, and my PC sat there for a long time and worked. But it's been 10 hours now, and there's no HD activity, and the load average is very close to 0. [09:16] Buyydee: Ok. FYI it's a partion that start some kind of rescue and recovery software when you press the Thinkvantage button after power-up. [09:16] lmnts, as long as you don't wipe the service partition, you'll be able to boot into it [09:16] does anyone here know how to create a theme archive for local login.. i know how to add one but i want to create one that looks like a CIA Terminal Login... anyone ? [09:16] But the installer just says "Please wait" at 42% on the 'Starting up the partitioner' stage, which is where it's been for about 10 hours now. [09:16] back to 10-19% now [09:16] So, what do I do? [09:16] lmnts, my preferred approach is to just image the whole drive, compress it, and stick it somewhere safe [09:16] all indexers push it to max? [09:16] creature, how much memory do you have? [09:16] cwillu: I've read that it's really picky if you change anything with the partitions. [09:16] i need help mounting an mp3 player to my computer please help [09:17] lmnts: have you tried shrinking your vista partition to make place for ubuntu ? [09:17] cwillu: 2.5GB. [09:17] can i get a cpu throttler? [09:17] zenobius, nice/renice [09:17] zenobius: sure why not, the task is probably nice'd down so everything else takes priority [09:17] cwillu: And also that it needs some specific things in MBR. Perhaps it's only a new entry in grub.conf after installation. [09:17] just a thought: it could be indexing the logs from this irc channel. [09:18] lmnts? there's nothing special in the mbr, almost guaranteed; granted though, that imaging the drive will grab the mbr at the same time [09:18] zenobius: oh it was gaim [09:18] steckel: That's what I would do but I wanted to have a look around first if it would trash my service partition. [09:18] yeah, approaching bloat class [09:18] cwillu: http://bbqfrogs.com/ThinkPadT61Dir/TPT61WindowsDir/T61WindowsXP.htm have a look at "1." [09:18] zenobius: I would never use it for IRC ;) [09:18] lmnts: according to cwillu, i'd approach it like that: backup first, of couse, then partition the hard disk to vista, service partition and free space (using gparted, if you like) and then install ubuntu in the free space, allowing it to create swap partitions and so on. see if grub recognises the service partition, if not, edit a manual entry in menu.lst after finding the partition with fdisk -l [09:19] Kaboombob and I need your help mounting mp3 players - ERROR: Module ehci_hcd does not exist in /proc/modules [09:19] Anyone? [09:19] creature, was it the 'starting partitioner', or was it after you saw the resize partition stuff? [09:19] cwillu: Probably I will do an image. [09:19] lmnts, looking [09:19] lmnts: i dont think it will trash you service partition as that is a normal partition which is just hidden from windows [09:20] steckel: Agreed. [09:20] cwillu: I created my partitions, all of which were physical volumes for RAID. Then I set up RAID, some of which were physical volumes for encryption. Then I entered a key for the encryption, and chose 'configure encrypted devices' or similar, and it told me it had to write some stuff to disk. And that's the stage I'm at. [09:20] Buyydee: The service partition starts a slimmed down Windows (or so it says when it starts) so it's likely that grub can boot it. [09:21] lmnts, """It will still be bootable from other boot loaders - grub for instance""" [09:21] lmnts: well, then give it a try :) [09:21] lmnts, is there a button hotkey that it's talking about? [09:21] Yep, definitly. I need Linux on it for sure. [09:21] cwillu: yes [09:22] cwillu: Yes, think it's called Thinkvantage button. [09:22] lmnts, sounds like gimmicky breakware to me [09:22] It's a "magic" button that starts that service partition at POST and inside Vista it starts some management software (to disable/enable hardware, use vidoe-out and so on). [09:23] lmnts: if i recall correctly there is an article on the lenovo website stating on how to install linux as a second os without sacrificing the hidden partition [09:23] cwillu: it's supposed to be a backup systemwhich stays unaffected by viruses etc, if your system goes down. pretty redundant on a dual boot system [09:23] cwillu: Yes it is, but actually rather good to have inside Vista. That's why I want to keep the original Vista and not installa a fresh one. [09:23] Normally I just wipe the factory-installed Windows and install fresh but IBM is rather good at this. [09:23] vista reminds me of that toaster on redwarf [09:23] lmnts: that document might also be available in windows when hitting the thinkvantage button [09:23] Sony on the other hand is really annoying. Wiped it off with my last laptop. [09:24] I downloaded the firefox file from firefox.com [09:24] what do I do with it to install it? [09:24] steckel: Oh, that would be really good. Will search their website. [09:24] espanol? [09:24] creature, sorry, beyond my expertise [09:24] Feisty: delete, go to synaptic package manager and install firefox from there. spares you a lot of trouble [09:24] !es | linux__ [09:24] linux__: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda. [09:24] creature, beyond suggesting a simpler config to install and setting up raid afterwards [09:25] oh ok thanks [09:25] but is it possible to install from the gz tar file? [09:25] how to tell the ip address of ubuntu [09:25] cwillu: I'm not sure that's an option. [09:25] ubud ifconfig [09:25] Feisty, it's possible, but you won't get the automatic updates from ubuntu [09:25] Feisty: of course, but compared to the two clicks in synaptic it's rather complicated and yes, no updates [09:26] cwillu: I think I'm going to give the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedFilesystemLVMHowto?highlight=%28encryptedfilesystem%29 a try. [09:26] creature, I'll have a look if you want [09:26] cwillu: (Boot from LiveCD, setup partitions in that. === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [09:26] can someone PLZ PLZ help me privatly I screwed up my pc [09:27] creature, is it still running? [09:27] creature, how big is the partition? [09:27] on a previous day, I deleted a couple of files in /etc/wordpress which are installed by "sudo apt-get install wordpress" - how can I get them to re-appear? ... (remove/reinstall doesn't work) [09:27] why won't anyone help me [09:27] There are 3 partitions. One RAID1 of 2 300MB partitions (/boot), one RAID0 of 2 300MB partitions (swap), and one RAID5 of 4 500GB partitions. [09:28] because you're asking for a bunch of free troubleshooting advice without telling us what the problem is, or even waiting longer than 2 minutes? [09:28] Armageddon: Don't ask to ask, and don't ask for private help. Just state your problem and if someone can help they probably will. [09:28] I have a 7.10, kernel 2.6.22-14 genetic a (recovery mode) and a memtest86 [09:28] Armageddon someone did help you. You are trying to install in a fashion that very few use...probably no one here has tried it. Our best advice was, and still is, download an iso and install from cd. [09:28] which do I use to re install? [09:28] creature, I just notice that the guide you linked said that 100gb might take as long as 20 hours to finish writing [09:29] Armageddon, what are you trying to do? [09:29] cwillu: I think that's just if you're being super-paranoid and writing random data to the whole disk before setting stuff up. [09:29] re install the right way to use ubuntu [09:29] but it won't even let me get to the desktop [09:29] creature, do you know that the process you're using isn't doing that? [09:29] cwillu: I'd be surprised if the installer was trying to do that, and as mentioned the load average is nothing and there's no disk activity. [09:30] lmnts: and have a look here: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Rescue_and_Recovery [09:30] on a previous day, I deleted a couple of files in /etc/wordpress which are installed by "sudo apt-get install wordpress" - how can I get them to re-appear? ...

[09:30] Armageddon, http://www.ubuntu.com/ [09:30] dvd [09:31] Armageddon: memtest86 won't install anything, it justs test your ram, and it is very good at that. [09:31] I screwed up and wanna reboot the os [09:31] f0cus, mostly available, but it's not really designed for it out of the box [09:31] Armageddon: reboot is not reinstall [09:31] fyi [09:31] thanks [09:31] cwillu [09:31] I wanna install the os properly [09:31] can I do that if I messed up [09:32] Armageddon: download it, burn it to a DVD, and reboot the computer with the BIOS set up to boot on the DVD [09:32] then follow the on-screen instructions [09:32] Armageddon, which country are you in - there's different download locations for different countries [09:32] Armageddon, yes, just download the cd or dvd image from ubuntu.com, burn it, boot off it, and hit the install button [09:32] ok what link do I download to burn it onto a DVD [09:32] Hey guys I have sound working (for instance gnome sounds and xmms sounds work fine) when I try to configure Eiga sip phone (Software phone) it can't play the test sound - whats could be the problem?

[09:41] Armageddon has gone anyway [09:42] acidfire2008, locate is your friend [09:42] acidfire2008, synaptic can tell you what files the package created too [09:42] anyone know how to share data connection via USB [09:42] how do we set path for jdk globally in ubuntu. not for just single user? [09:44] open_lad check for /etc/skel/.profile [09:45] th0r, what do i need to append? [09:46] open_lad: that's only for newly created users, you should add it to /etc/environment [09:46] and it's .bash_profile in ubuntu anyway [09:47] oh there is a .profile [09:47] astro76 I was close Was looking for the default path....hadn't found /etc/environment yet [09:47] cwillu: An image of the harddrive will take up all of the 160GB, unless compressed? I would create it with dd but is there a better way? [09:47] lmnts, if the drive is mostly empty, it'll be pretty small [09:47] astro76, what i need to write ?? i dont know how to set classpath [09:48] cwillu: dd does a bit by bit copy? [09:48] th0r [09:48] u there? [09:48] lmnts, I usually do dd if=/dev/sda bs=65536|gzip|netcat target.local [09:48] But I need to compress it and then it will be greatly reduced. [09:48] acidfire2008 ? [09:48] cwillu: Ok [09:48] i jus tinstalled vsftpd [09:48] is there a program like checkdisk for linux? a ntfs partition on my external hdd seems to be corrupted [09:48] lmnts, that's a remote copy fyi [09:48] i have jdk in /usr/java/jdk*** [09:48] is there a config i can edit for it? [09:48] Thanks for your help, guys. [09:48] Hey guys I have sound working (for instance gnome sounds and xmms sounds work fine) when I try to configure Eiga sip phone (Software phone) it can't play the test sound - whats could be the problem? [09:49] Buyydee: fsck [09:49] acidfire2008 yes, it is /etc/vsftpd.conf [09:49] Buyydee: I don't think it is good idea to check NTFS part with linux [09:49] lmnts, you need to have another drive on the local machine to just pipe gzip to a file, otherwise netcat is a handy way to pipe it to a different machine [09:49] so i'd better switch to windows and repair it there? [09:49] can u enable userFXP with this? [09:49] Buyydee, it can be done, but windows is probably the better approach [09:50] fine, thank you [09:50] cwillu: Yes, I've done similar things before. Though didn't pipe it through gzip that time. [09:50] lmnts, one of these days I'm gonna have to investigate lvm; live fsck'ing and backups would be nice [09:50] astro76, what i need to write ?? i dont know how to set classpath [09:50] I'm having a hard time getting flash into opera. any suggestions? [09:51] i have jdk in /usr/java/jdk*** [09:51] lmnts, might consider doing gzip --faster; it's really the empty space that you care about, no sense wasting an extra hour to get the last .5gb [09:51] hey th0r can u enable fxp with this ftpd? [09:51] acidfire2008 don't even know what that is [09:51] lol [09:51] olskolirc: run it from a command line, and take note of the errors when it shutsdown? [09:52] open_lad: I don't know about java, I answered your where to put a environment variable question [09:52] for real i need to so i can fxp from my house [09:52] acidfire2008, any particular reason why you don't use scp et al? [09:52] what n2diy ? [09:52] i dont see a place to edit the port at th0r [09:52] olskolirc: open a terminal, and run Opera. [09:53] cwillu: LVM snapshots is nice, but I only used it on servers. But does it help with live fsck:ing? That is a feature of the actual filesystem, no? [09:53] ok [09:53] Uhm, I just got ubuntu on the mac, and booting it up shows a discolored ubuntu loading thing [09:53] The colors are screwed up, I don't remember how to decribe it currently. [09:53] lmnts, dunno, apparently there's some google code that uses lvm to do that; there was discussion about getting it into hardy, but it's not trusted enough yet [09:54] cwillu: Oh, great things then! [09:54] Hi. I have a process which uses the serial port (ttyS0). for some reasons, the process makes the port blocked, and after killing that process the port remains unavailable. however fuser /dev/ttys0 dosen't give me anithing after the process is killed, but the port remains blocked... what could I do? thnks [09:54] ** Message: GetValue variable 1 (1) and ** Message: GetValue variable 2 (2) is all it scrolled n2diy [09:54] I'm going to try and use Vista shrink support in Disk Management.

If I have those backed up, how can I tell apt to reinstall the rest of the system? [10:00] But it only shows a command prompt style screen [10:01] BusyBox v1.1.3 or something. [10:01] Help? [10:01] idr did i miss anything? [10:01] th0r how do u restart the ftpd? [10:01] I see that I can do "aptitude reinstall ~i" but if all I had was a restore of /etc /var /home and /usr/local, how could I restore to the point where I could run aptitude? [10:01] acidfire2008 /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart [10:02] kaboombob: Loaded ubuntu, shows a CMD like screen with BusyBox v1.1.3 (Debian 1:1.1.3-5ubuntu7) Built in shell (ash) [10:03] Help? Please? [10:03] how do u add users bc i dont think it worked [10:03] zenwryly: take a look at mondo? [10:03] [L] 500 OOPS: vsftpd: cannot locate user specified in 'ftp_username':ftp [10:03] and its still on 21 hmmm [10:03] n2diy: doesn't it do full restores? [10:04] anyone in here know how to get a smartphone working as a modem in linux [10:04] acidfire2008 you need to turn off anonymous access which, if I remember correctly, will enable local user logins. [10:04] zenwryly: I'm not sure, it changes daily, and I haven't played with it in months. [10:04] like use the users on the machine for login? [10:04] whats about the port change? [10:04] Hey guys I have sound working (for instance gnome sounds and xmms sounds work fine) when I try to configure Eiga sip phone (Software phone) it can't play the test sound - whats could be the problem? [10:05] i edited the /etc/vsftpd.conf file to add that [10:05] acidfire2008 I have never changed the port on ftp...always ran it through a tunnel, so I only have that url I sent to work from and it said to add that line [10:05] well what I'm thinking is that /etc and /var already have all the data aptitude needs in order to reinstall packages lost [10:05] including all the apt sources [10:06] so if I have those backed up, then I shouldn't need to back up the rest of the system [10:06] hi [10:06] acidfire2008 check the vsftpd.conf man page for a full set of options. [10:06] I just want to be clear on the restore procedure [10:06] Hi ppl. Anyone know about bluesnarfer? [10:07] acidfire2008 two options...anonymous_enable=NO and local_enable=YES [10:07] zwenryly: you can export a list of installed packages with "dpkg --get selections" on the running system [10:07] acidfire2008 unless you WANT anonymous access [10:07] lol no [10:07] i have to much ram and i think gutsy doesnt appreciate iit [10:07] it [10:07] zenwryly: Restoring is the trick, and testing is the only way to confirm it. But you can loose symlinks, so you certainly need to test your restore procedure. [10:08] phreck: try using gnome-ppp [10:08] acidfire2008 is this just for you or do you have other users? [10:08] just 1 [10:08] danube: what is that [10:08] longshot: anyone seen an issue where after you kill one process that's listening on one port, then somehow the next highest PID starts listening on that port?? [10:08] * syc__ mohon pamid [10:08] acidfire2008 I set up sshfs instead of using ftp...allows me to mount the server as a folder in ~ [10:09] zwenryly: on a minimal system you can import that list with "dpkg --set-selections" ... "apt-get dselect-upgrade" [10:09] a graphical dial up connector? [10:09] ill be using usb to connect, and it wont be dial up [10:10] i have a data connection w/ phone [10:10] zwenryly: but this will only reinstall dpkg-packages, things you copied into the filesystem will be missing [10:10] n2diy: well the only symlinks that I can think of that wouldn't be restored by reinstall would be the alternatives [10:10] "ERROR: Module ehci_hcd does not exist in /proc/modules" how do i amke it exist? [10:10] but my main question would be how to bootstrap the restore [10:10] kaboombob try 'modprobe ehci_hcd' [10:11] zenwryly: I see, but you won't know that, until you try it? :/ [10:12] th0r what does that do exactly? [10:13] n2diy: yes and I plan to try it, but what I don't know to *start* trying it is how to bootstrap the restroe [10:13] if /usr/bin/aptitude is gone, what do I do to get back to the point where I can do [10:13] "aptitude reinstall ~i" [10:14] zenwryly: mondo will create a boot cd, or floppy. [10:14] phreck: make sudo apt-get install gnome-ppp [10:14] /var/lib/aptitude will be intact. but not the binary [10:14] hi! i'm trying to compile something against unixodbc on feisty... none of the unixodbc packages seem to install the shims (like libodbcmyS.so) that you need to connect unixodbc to mysql... anyone every worked with this? [10:14] kaboombob it installs the module ehci_hcd. You can't put things into /proc, the system puts things there as it operates. The error indicates (I think) that the module isn't loaded [10:15] pvh_sa|wrk: each db package has it's own, eg: instead of looking for unix-odbc-mysql, look for mysql-odbc- [10:15] ikonia, i install libmyodbc - but are you talking about something else?

[10:16] kaboombob BTW...did it work? [10:16] Or would I have to create some kind of symlink? [10:16] borbus: it's an ftp client [10:16] sort of but only for a few seconds [10:16] Ok, what about samba? [10:16] phreck: then open gnome-ppp from your menu and connect using device ttyUSB0 (as which your connected smartphone should have been recognized) [10:17] borbus: what about samba ? [10:17] hmmm [10:17] Well how can I browse to a file on a samba share using mplayer for example, which only shows the normal filesystem [10:17] yea its not giving me a usb option... [10:17] Hey everyone it's Librustralia from before [10:17] I am getting "Couldn't get cwd: No such file or directory" while trying to install msttcorefonts, any ideas? [10:18] Is anyone here familiar with the program "Parted Magic"? [10:18] borbus you mount the samba share to a local folder [10:18] phreck: what is not giving you an usb option? the app? the phone? ubuntu? [10:18] Veganarkismo: so, did you librate oz? [10:18] app [10:18] So what do you link to? smb://etc ? [10:18] librate/liberate [10:18] the device section doesnt have a usb.... [10:19] n2diy: :( kinda sorta [10:19] borbus: you mount it in your filesystem like anything else... also for ssh there's sshfuse [10:19] n2diy: Im still screwed [10:19] borbus you use 'mount -t smb' not sure of the exact syntax...check the man page for mount [10:19] n2diy: lol [10:19] mount or link? [10:19] borbus: you can mount a ftp-share with curlftpfs and a directory on a ssh-server with sshfs .. [10:20] astro76 have you tried fusesmb? [10:20] Veganarkismo: your old nick was cooler, good luck with your linux stuff.

What's ntldr? network loader? [10:21] n2diy: BUT :D the thingy in the program thingy says it recognizes there's a 120gb partition [10:21] astro76 I click on ~/network and see a folder for each workgroup [10:21] n2diy: and that was my linux partition [10:21] n2diy: i think so [10:21] n2diy: I just don't know how to recover it :( === Amaranth_ is now known as Amaranth [10:21] i have an older usb 1 mp3 player that i cant get to mount any help would be nice [10:21] guys I have a problem with my panel , can any1 help?

[10:22] n2diy: no it's not working [10:22] n2diy: The bootloader worked (although it still came up with the BSOD) [10:23] astro76 yeah...made life so much simpler. enter the user/pw in the config file and log into whatever shares you like automatically on login [10:23] Hi there, i've got a HP nx6325 and cant get the broadcom-wireless-card working, anyone able to give me some hints of good guides to get it working please? i've tried googling but i can only find older guides which seems rather out-of-date [10:23] n2diy: worked (past tense) [10:23] th0r: I will have to tell some people at work about it [10:23] amerio what is the problem [10:23] Veganarkismo: may it rest in piece. [10:23] Duzchip: what broadcom chip? 43xx? [10:23] kaboombob well , I unchecked the expand option in panel properties , added some launchers and organized the icons but each time I restart i get the old grouping of the panel , and when I start applications the panel width expands [10:23] :( [10:23] WaZ': think so, cant really see it anywhere, i'll try to check it [10:24] Duzchip: lspci Duzchip [10:24] amerio sry i dont know what to tell you [10:24] Veganarkismo: I can help with Ubuntu, but I havent' seen the BSOD since Winders 95. [10:24] WaZ': BCM4310 it seems [10:25] Duzchip: what version of ubuntu? [10:25] 7.10 [10:25] have you installed restricted drivers Duzchip? [10:25] astro76 just a side note...fuseiso is also nice if you haven't seen it [10:25] n2diy: lol, I acctually wanna get rid of windoze, but It's the partition recovery that I need help with [10:25] WaZ': eeh, nope, its a totally fresh install of ubuntu with only fluxbox (a few fluxbox-addons) and build-essential installed [10:25] astro76 fuse is a godsend [10:26] Duzchip: go to System>Administration>Restricted Drivers [10:26] oki, just logging into gnome instead (using fluxbox) [10:26] Duzchip: it should show the restricted drivers [10:26] Oki [10:26] Duzchip: or you can just sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter [10:27] only shows ATI accelerated graphics driver [10:27] Veganarkismo: well, if you aren't worried about your winders stuff, just do a full blown Ubuntu install. But... You'll loose all your winders stuff. [10:27] Duzchip: just a second, i'll check if this also works for the 4310 [10:27] n2diy: most of my stuff was on my ubuntu partition :\ [10:27] i get an error when doing apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter [10:27] Duzchip: you might need legacy drivers [10:27] ERROR 404: Not Found. [10:27] trying to connect to boredklink.googlepages.com [10:27] n2diy: acctually everything was on my ubuntu partition because windoze had a BSOD since it was installed [10:28] Duzchip: are you connected to internet? [10:28] yes [10:28] hmmm [10:28] cant surf and apt-get install other programs and stuff [10:28] duzchip are you in terminal? [10:28] yes [10:29] Who's familiar with Parted Magic here? [10:29] Veganarkismo: so what are your worries? You lost everything already, no? Just install Ubuntu, and ditch winders? [10:29] kaboombob: yes [10:29] just makin sure [10:30] n2diy: I don't think I've lost everything, they're still on the harddrive but I need to recover them. I've tried Parted Magic the analysis thingy showed my harddrive's partitions so they're still there for sure [10:31] does anybody know about the configurarion of gnome panel? [10:31] n2diy: but when I boot up my comp, it won't let me access any OS [10:31] WaZ' Any more hints please? :) [10:31] Duzchip: are the universe repos enabled? [10:32] Veganarkismo: sounds like a boot loader problem [10:32] WaZ': Yup [10:32] * Lokii- just made the coolest login screen :) [10:32] howlingmadhowie: :O [10:32] * howlingmadhowie wants to see Lokii-'s login screen [10:33] howlingmadhowie: Is there a way to reinstall the bootloader? [10:33] Veganarkismo: I"ve followed this off and on, all morning. I don't know of anything to tell you, that has not been suggested already, sorry. [10:33] Duzchip: try this [10:33] Duzchip: sudo modprobe -r bcm43xx [10:33] fn'howlingmadhowie: let me try and make a screenie of the l0ogin hold up [10:33] Duzchip: sudo modprobe bcm43xx [10:33] Hello there i have just laoded up the live CD and i'm trynig to locate my Windows partition.. but /dev/hda does not exist?? a "ls /dev/hd*" returns nothing. [10:33] - [10:33] Veganarkismo: it's something i've never had to do. but you can try googling for instructions [10:33] n2diy: It's ok [10:33] howlingmadhowie: lol, ok ill brb [10:34] howlingmadhowie: thing is, I don't know anything about bootloaders [10:34] Will the windows parition be hidden or something? [10:34] Veganarkismo: the basic idea is you start a live cd, mount the partition of your harddrive and mount proc and dev on that position. then you chroot and update grub [10:34] Duzchip: if that fails try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff [10:34] WaZ': Thanks a lot [10:34] Veganarkismo: Guess what? Time to learn about them! [10:35] Duzchip: works? [10:35] Nope [10:35] Trying that link [10:35] :( [10:35] fn'howlingmadhowie: do you know how to snap a screenshot of the login screen ? [10:35] howlingmadhowie: I'm typing this from a live CD right now though [10:35] Veganarkismo: bootloaders used to be a lot easier than they are now :( [10:35] n2diy: lol good idea [10:35] Veganarkismo: what does cat /proc/partitions tell you? [10:35] Veganarkismo: Good luck to you. [10:35] howlingmadhowie: Do i enter that in the terminal? [10:36] Veganarkismo: i see the problem we're going to be having here... [10:36] fn'dr4: cat /proc/diskstats [10:36] see what you got [10:36] howlingmadhowie: I'll pastebin it [10:36] howlingmadhowie, you've got to be kidding. bootloaders used to be INSANELY worse than they're now [10:36] Lokii-, ok [10:36] dr4 live cd likes to make the windows ntfs partitions under /media/sda1 or /media/sdb1 ect (sdb for scsi drives) [10:37] Veganarkismo: have you got a usb-drive large enough to store everything you need from your harddrive? [10:37] Juhaz +1 [10:37] howlingmadhowie: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51996/ [10:37] Juhaz: i mean easier in the sense of fitting in the mbr completely :) [10:37] howlingmadhowie: and no :( [10:37] howlingmadhowie: did you see my question ? [10:37] Lokii-, okay i see them.. i se a good few SDA drives.. however i done a 'df /dev/sda/ on the drives and the file system is 'udev' [10:38] dr4 do a df -h [10:38] ;p [10:38] Lokii-, ok [10:38] find your stuff dr4 ? [10:39] Lokii-: the easy way would be to cat from fb0 :-D [10:39] howlingmadhowie i don't understand [10:39] Lokii-, i see the windows partition.. [10:39] Veganarkismo: oh, your drive is mostly non-partitioned [10:39] dr4 u all good ? [10:39] Lokii-, i need some text files off of the windwos partition. But i don't have anywhere to mount atm. [10:39] Lokii-: if you copy the current contents of the framebuffer, you can get a picture of the screen :) [10:39] howlingmadhow: what? :O [10:40] dr4 [10:40] howlingmadhowie: but but but [10:40] its not mounted already ? [10:40] Lokii-, actually good point it's already mounted [10:40] howlingmadhowie: it had a 30GB and 120ishGB partition before [10:40] Lokii-: however, i would have to set my screen to your resolution and pixel-depth in order to see it [10:40] so i can access it at cd /dev/sda ? [10:40] Veganarkismo: i can't see the 120GB partition [10:40] howlingmadhowie: :\ [10:40] Lokii-, ^^^ [10:41] 1024x768 32bit i think is what i'm running [10:41] searching for a DC client that uses multisource and has linux support [10:41] dr4 [10:41] Veganarkismo: if it's an ntfs partition, that maybe because the live cd doesn't support ntfs, but it should still be in the partition table [10:41] no [10:41] howlingmadhowie: the Parted Magic live CD or Ubuntu live cd? [10:41] it'd be cd /media/sdb1 [10:41] ls [10:41] err [10:42] sda1* [10:42] Lokii-, its pre-mounted ? [10:42] yes [10:42] look [10:42] at df -h [10:42] Lokii-: the trouble is, you have to dump the contents of /dev/fb0 while you can see the login screen. you could try an "at" command :) [10:42] if you see it there listed [10:42] then its mounted [10:42] Lokii-, i am and it says "mounted under /dev" [10:42] after looking on openmosix and clusterknoppix, I just wondering is ubuntu provided any pre-design process clustering feature? [10:42] but /dev/ just contains stuff not the windwos partition [10:42] dr4 your reading it wrong [10:42] Lokii-, ok [10:42] trust me [10:42] you can paste the output in a pm to me if you with [10:43] wish* [10:43] coz I afraid later the ubuntu application or services has problem if I use openmosix kernel [10:43] Why are there two DEB program packages: 'links' and 'links2'? The Synaptic descriptions do not make clear the difference. [10:43] howlingmadhowie: wait no, I don't think it was NTFS, the 120GB partition was the linux one [10:43] howlingmadhowie forgive me i'm not sure how to execute a command from the login screen while not logged in i'm new to gui linux [10:43] Lokii-, its on another machine without internet acess [10:43] i just installed gutsy, but it says i386's are not supported by all the app's in "add/remove". any ideas? [10:43] Laughing Out Loud kk dr4 [10:43] Veganarkismo: well, it's not in /proc/partitions [10:44] howlingmadhowie i only know cmd line [10:44] howlingmadhowie: so it's erased? :\ [10:44] alright i need some help switching this machine from windows to ubuntu, the user has a 250gb hard disk, 2 partitions, one partition has the windows and the other has his data, the 2nd partition is 205gb in size and has 65gb of data, what needs to be done is resize the 2nd partition, install ubuntu, copy data and then remove that partition and to ubuntu [10:44] Laughing Out Loud go figure eh ;p [10:44] julz: I have no such problem, may we know more details? [10:44] howlingmadhowie: I don't know how a whole partition could be erased in a split second from just typing in "FIXMBR" :\ [10:44] Lokii-: don't worry, the whole thing is getting pretty complex. but if you have a really nice picture on the login-screen under a common license, you could paste it somewhere so we could see it :) [10:44] is what i stated possible and can anyone help me out? [10:45] Lokii-, i don't think its mounted.. i think this is mabe ubuntu stuff ?? it says "filesystem: udev" [10:45] dr4: udev is not a file system [10:45] ok [10:45] Veganarkismo: a-ha. the partition-table is copied at regular intervals on the disc. a software like gpart may be able to help you here. [10:45] samad909 why bother changing his data partition. just delete the c drive partition so you have unused space then make a swap 2x the amount of ram he has and then the rest to / [10:46] howlingmadhowie: I used Parted Magic which includes gparted [10:46] sdb is different hard drive, it could be that it just can't see the disk some reason [10:46] his second "data partition will be read and writable by ubuntu [10:46] Has anyone had experience on process clustering in ubuntu gutsy? [10:46] Lokii-: its like this he needs all under one partition [10:46] Veganarkismo: the file sysem won't have been erazed, but it may have overwritten one of the partition tables [10:46] howlingmadhowie: Is there a way to restore those partition tables? [10:46] Lokii-: so the system gets the full 250gb hard disk [10:46] Laughing Out Loud why ? [10:47] he would get all his space [10:47] and its better to have certain ammounts allocated [10:47] Lokii-: there is no one in the chanell called laughing out loud [10:47] howlingmadhowie: I found this: http://linuxhelp.blogspot.com/2005/11/how-to-repair-corrupt-mbr-and-boot.html would this help? [10:47] bah, when i do "ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf" i just get "couldn't get manufacturer section - installation may be incomplete" [10:47] i have 15gb / 4gb swap 65gb /home 500gb /media/sdb1 [10:47] I was experimenting something and I installed the ATi drivers for Linux from their official site, and I already had installed them via the restricted driver manager, but when I installed from the file i downloaded, now everything is slower, not to mention the compiz effects, how to erase those drivers I installed from ATi's site and leave my computer unharmed [10:48] white_eagle why are you telling us this ? [10:48] white_eagle: the ati drivers on ati.com are nothing to do with ubuntu [10:48] Lokii-: i mean can you explain how to do the stuff, the 2nd parition is ntfs which i will convert from windows to fat32 [10:48] Veganarkismo: yeah. you'll need gpart and some method to write partition tables like fdisk or gparted [10:49] samad909 theres no need [10:49] ubuntu can read and write to ntfs [10:49] Lokii-: at full capacity? like ext2? [10:49] yes [10:49] howlingmadhowie: That won't erase all the data will it? Would it have the same effect as reformatting? [10:49] Lokii-: ok guide me [10:49] understand why i'm saying just leave the data partition alone [10:50] it will get mounted to /media/sdb2 or something [10:50] you can always mount it where ever you want later [10:50] ./home if you wish [10:50] Lokii-: what i am trying to do here is, get all the space to / [10:50] Veganarkismo: it shouldn't. basically you just have to find out what the partitions actually are and then rewrite the first partition table [10:50] Veganarkismo: however, you'll need a live cd with gpart or similar [10:50] Lokii-: so basically i can fill any folder up with data till i run out of space [10:50] has anyone written something in the meanwhile? my connection broke [10:50] Veganarkismo, gpart itself will not, but if you act on it's instructions without knowing what you're doing, it sure as hell will. [10:50] Veganarkismo: note: gparted won't do this for you, you really need gpart [10:51] samad909 personally i think it'd be better to have / and /hom on diff mounts cause then if you need to format / you keep all your /home data [10:51] Veganarkismo: i think the gentoo live cd has gpart on it. [10:51] Lokii-: but is 27gb enough for all my system data, i would be running xp on vm for c++ windows code compile and stuff [10:51] Veganarkismo: it would be a lot easier if there was nothing on the missing partition that you need :) [10:51] Lokii-: home stores all your settings. if they are faulty you might overtake them in fresh installed system [10:52] yes [10:52] Veganarkismo: look up parted magic. It's a liveCD with gpart on it and a whole lot of partition tools. You boot off the CD and so you can fix your partitions [10:52] Veganarkismo: It even has a nice GUI [10:52] white_eagle: why are you telling us about ati drivers ? [10:52] stib: lol that's what I've been using [10:52] i know lots of people store data to there home folder [10:52] stib: cool, i didn't know that. thanks :) [10:52] /mnt/data [10:53] ie [10:53] Veganarkismo: Oh [10:53] * howlingmadhowie is busy afk for a minute [10:53] ikonia: because, I'm asking how to erase those new drivers [10:53] stib: I'm not sure how to use it though [10:53] Veganarkismo: so are you booting off it? [10:53] white_eagle: ahhh I see, thats a bit tricky [10:53] Lokii-: alright so all i need to do is just format the 1st partition and install ubuntu on that? how would i go about setting the /home to the 2nd ntfs partition, guide me.. [10:53] stib: Yes, but right now I'm on the ubuntu live CD [10:53] !away > howlingmadhowie [10:54] stib: I'll boot into it in a minute [10:54] white_eagle: you've in effect broke your package manager, so it's going to be hard to clean up [10:54] stib: I'll have a look at it again, ill be back later [10:54] howlingmadhowie: you know the userentry box from login Human ? [10:55] Lokii-: alright so all i need to do is just format the 1st partition and install ubuntu on that? how would i go about setting the /home to the 2nd ntfs partition [10:55] i read that hold on a minute [10:55] Lokii-: alright, just say my nickname when you reply [10:55] Veganarkismo: Look in the tools menu. You have to right click to see all the tools or something IIRC [10:56] Lokii-: also get me a few steps to get my dual core to run at max performance on ubuntu [10:57] howlingmadhowie: i used the userentry box from login screen "Human" and moved the y=20% http://i1.tinypic.com/6l9vqbs.png = background and i removed the Ubuntu logo as it crossed over my new CIA Restricted Access Terminal [10:57] :) [10:58] Hi people [10:58] Does anyone know if there's a tool for defragging ntfs drives available? I'd like to defrag my windows partition from linux, so I can defrag the bits I normally can't move (I know, I'm being OCD) [10:58] May I ask what 'ubuntu' is? [10:58] WaZ': Aha!!! Got it working [10:58] !ubuntu | Mitch_Davis [10:58] Mitch_Davis: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com [10:58] using sp36684.exe and ndiswrapper but still :D [10:58] stib, probably best to use the windows tools [10:59] Ok, thanks. [10:59] PriceChild: I get that feeling too. But there has to be a Linux tool that will do it better, there just has to.. :) [10:59] white_eagle: by installing the ati drivers from ati.com you've broke the package managers awareness of what is installed (in terms of packages and dependencies around ati) [11:00] stib, linux ntfs support has been reverse engineered... "educated guess" really. Its only recently ntfs-3g has reached 1.0 [11:00] samad909 install ubuntu.. when it asks for selecting drive to partition click manual, select sda1 (c drive) delete partition | select unused space make partition (swap) 2x whatever his ram is select rest of the unused space create partition / (reiserfs) [11:01] samad909: select the sda3 or whatever it has the guys data drive labeled as [11:01] samad909: edit partition mount point /home [11:01] click install [11:02] Lokii-: about the dual core? [11:02] PriceChild: So I'd be taking a leap of faith defragging my disks with a half baked linux ntfs tool. [11:02] samad909 i have no idea [11:02] Well, nice seeing you all. [11:02] Ciao. [11:02] stib, I'm no authority on the matter, just best to use windows tools imo. [11:02] lol, bye. [11:02] samad909 that would be something todo with the cpu module in the kernel [11:02] Lokii-: alright thanks for the help, I will ask someone and go ahead [11:03] anyone know how to get the max performance of dual core processors in ubuntu [11:03] samad909 in any case if you have to modify kernel you do that after install [11:03] Lokii-: sure thanks for the help [11:03] np i'm gonna watch some tv and have a long needed piss [11:03] 3:03am here [11:03] samad909: It will always use the maximum performance? [11:04] !guidelines > Lokii- [11:04] lmnts: i thought it needed a smp kernel [11:04] samad909: It is SMP aware by default. [11:04] pricechild what did i do now? Laughing Out Loud i was being friendly and helping [11:04] !guidelines > lmnts [11:04] hi how do i unistall a program that i compiled? [11:04] Vicfred: make uninstall if it has one, or a manual rm [11:04] lmnts: alright so it means it is going to be faster than xp 32bit as it is capable of using the dual cores? [11:05] Vicfred: that is the price of not using package manager [11:05] =p xd [11:05] lmnts? [11:06] my computer restarts when trying to install ubuntu 7.10, hov can i fix it? [11:06] samad909: XP 32-bit also has SMP support, for what I know. [11:06] samad909: xp 32 can use dual core. Mine uses all four cores quite well. [11:06] stib: is that by default? [11:06] samad909: it depends on the software you're using - If it's multi threaded it will work faster on multi processor machines [11:06] samad909: yup [11:06] stib: I mean the OS [11:06] samad909: Press CTRL+ESC and have a look at the CPU histogram, it should show two of them. [11:06] hi [11:07] I compiled Tor from the source, and now I need to know where are the binaries installed [11:07] stib: well i had a p4 but the speeds remain the same for me that is why i was wondering [11:07] lmnts: it shows the 2 cores but the speeds remain the same as it was on my old p4 [11:07] samad909: what speeds? [11:08] lmnts: the OS boot speeds and other general OS taks [11:08] samad909: man Tor ro compile kardam, binary ha koja rikhte shodan? [11:08] tasks* [11:08] alpaco: i don't understand what you are saying mate [11:08] ok [11:08] I thought you are Persian [11:08] Laughing Out Loud [11:09] alpaco: lol, i am sri lankan [11:09] samad909: If the application you are executing is only single threaded, then it won't be able to utilize the second core. [11:09] samad909: OS boot speed is largely dependant on disk io and timeouts in programs that start up.. Not cpu power [11:09] samad909: try defragging ;) [11:09] lmnts/sjoerd/stib: thanks [11:09] samad909: CCleaner might help too. [11:09] hey people... [11:10] buh bye to native windows and hello to ubuntu and vm windows ;) [11:10] sjoerd: I want to test an SSD soon to see how much faster it will boot. :) [11:10] when you compile a program out of source code, where are the binaries normally installed? [11:10] alpaco, /usr/local/bin [11:10] does anyone here have experience with installing the dependencies required for Google APIs? I have been stuck for 4 days straight [11:10] I would not install windows on vm for this guy but he needs it to compile his src and stuff so [11:10] thanks [11:10] lmnts: starting programs in parallel already helps a lot.. and so do other things [11:10] lmnts: but SSD are really nice indeed [11:11] anyone know how to open up the windows explorer in sudo mode ? [11:11] how do you uninstall after "make install"? do you have to uninstall manually? [11:11] alpaco: Throughout the filesystem, normally based out of /usr/local, otherwise /usr. Check the "lib" and "bin" directories specifically. There might be other directories such as "share". [11:11] ok [11:11] josh__: windows explorer? [11:11] yo my freaking hd led is light up 24/7 how do i know what process is eating my harddrive or something ? [11:11] I am using Icedtea however the google documentation is aimed at JDK 6.0 ... [11:12] alpaco, some might have "make deinstall" but i doubt it. you're most likely going to have to uninstall "manually". this is a major problem that package systems are designed to cure [11:12] alpaco: I would run "make install" again and watch where it installs things. Then do it in reverse. :) [11:12] josh__: maybe goto system32 and right click run as, give admin credentials [11:12] flush: How much memory have you got. It might be thrashing the swap because you've run out of ram [11:12] hmm [11:12] alpaco, you can make dpkg from source installs, look up checkinstall. that makes it easy to deinstall and also to move your package to other places [11:12] !checkinstall [11:12] checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!

[11:14] !top [11:14] Sorry, I don't know anything about top - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [11:14] samad909, sorry im talking about ubuntu, im not 100% good with cli yet. and i need certain permissions to do some things [11:14] flush: 8 users? [11:14] josh__: gksudo nautlius? [11:14] ea im logged via ssh on my other boxes on the lan [11:14] nautilus* [11:15] samad909: You should always use some swap, however small. If you hit the max amount of RAM the machine will likely crash. [11:15] flush: ls -l /proc/kcore how big is the file? [11:15] lmnts: how about a 1:1 ram:swap? [11:15] !info w32codecs gutsy [11:15] Package w32codecs does not exist in gutsy [11:15] lmnts: it won't crash [11:15] samad909: If you dont want a separate partition for swap, then you can always make a swap-file in the filesystem (as Windows does it). [11:16] !info w32codecs feisty [11:16] samad909: yes. for hibrenation [11:16] erawfish: No?

[11:16] lmnts: which has better performance? file or partition for swap? [11:16] unop: you need to go to www.medibuntu.org for those--the instructions are on the site [11:17] samad909: partiton but the advantage is soo smal you won't notice [11:17] I'mm back... [11:17] samad909: They say partition is better, but I never read some benchmarks. [11:17] Does anyone here know how to use GPart? [11:17] Veganarkismo: ask a real an specific question [11:17] hmm, i would go with the file then, better than having partitions [11:18] erawfish: http://allpr0h.eyh.ca/wtfx0r/hdledwtf.png [11:18] erawfish: How to fix partition tables with gparT? [11:18] this is top, and look at he sda/sdb graph on gkrellm, nothing [11:18] erawfish: hehe, I was about to write that. "Dont ask to ask a question, just ask." :) [11:18] and while that the hd led is light up [11:18] flush: what will that show me? [11:18] lmnts: how would i go about setting up the swap-file [11:18] my download speed has dropped after upgrading to gutsy [11:19] Does anyone know how to fix partition tables with GPart? [11:19] WaZ': hehe yet another tutorial but still : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bcm4310 [11:19] Veganarkismo: here is a screen shot of gparted http://partedmagic.com/downloads/screenshots/gparted.jpeg [11:19] erawfish what does it mean, why is the hd led light up if theres not even activity on the hd graph [11:19] Veganarkismo: if you run gparted you'll see something like that. [11:19] flush: in top, press "M". which process(es) use the most memory? [11:19] stib: isn't that gparted? [11:19] stib: I mean GPart [11:20] Veganarkismo: yup [11:20] flush: you run azureus, why do you even ask [11:20] samad909: To create a 1G swap-file; dd if=/dev/zero of=targetfile bs=1 count=1 seek=1G then mkswap targetfile. [11:20] stib: it's text based [11:20] !info vim-full gutsy [11:20] Veganarkismo: why not use gparted? [11:20] samad909: Hold, I'm on the phone.

[11:21] stib: can Gparted fix partition tables? [11:21] white_eagle: I've never removed the ati drivers, I don't know what they install and where [11:22] Veganarkismo: My oath it can. It's basically a Xubuntu live CD pared down to 30Mb with a whole lot of useful disk fixin' tools [11:22] Veganarkismo: http://partedmagic.com/ [11:22] stib: I know, I was just using it [11:22] stib: but I was afraid I might accidently reformat the disk [11:22] Veganarkismo: Oh, now you've confused me [11:23] stib: lol err ok ill start again [11:23] stib: great trademark violation that name it seems [11:23] Veganarkismo: well any partition tool will do that [11:23] stib: Earlier today I had a 125GB Ubuntu 7.10 Partition and a 30gb widoze partition [11:24] stic: The 30 GB windoze partition kept BSODing when I tried to boot into it [11:24] *stib: The 30 GB windoze partition kept BSODing when i tried to boot into it [11:24] Veganarkismo: do you mean "windows" [11:24] Veganarkismo: can you see the files on your windows disk? [11:24] now this is bad, he hasnt downloaded the image file, aargh! its a 512 connection and it is going to take 4hrs+ :S [11:24] ikonia: I intentionally call it windoze :P [11:25] samad909: mount -t swap targetfile swap or something similar. [11:25] stib: I wanted to play a game on windows, so I tried to fix it [11:25] Veganarkismo: then your intentionally behaving silly. It' called windows, please call it windows [11:25] lmnts: no auto mount? [11:25] samad909: Err, sorry, don't "mount" it. [11:25] stib: someone told me to go into the recovery console [11:25] stib: and type "fixboot c:" [11:25] stib: I did that [11:25] samad909: swapon targetfile [11:25] lmnts: you scare me for once, how do i activate it then? [11:26] stib: And then when I restarted, it said "NTLDR is missing" [11:26] Veganarkismo: ##windows channel can help with that [11:26] lmnts: that way it will be up every reboot? [11:26] I went back on this channel by going on my Ubuntu Live CD [11:26] Stib: and someone said I should use "fixmbr" [11:26] Veganarkismo: Oh, ok, you've bolloxed your MBR [11:26] samad909: And then add "/path/to/targetfile none swap sw 0 0" in /etc/fstab [11:26] Veganarkismo: the guys in ##windows will help you with that [11:27] hello guys is it okay to use my isp's dns to my pc2? my pc1 is my server ubuntu acting as my gateway. i dont have a router.. ubuntu is my router server.. [11:27] stib: I did that and it said "invalid partition table" [11:27] Veganarkismo: you are trying to fix a windows issue. Please take it to ##windows [11:27] lmnts: alright, thanks, now i have to wait till this image downloads! [11:27] samad909: I didn't verify all these steps now... :) [11:27] ikonia: No, it's an ubuntu issue too [11:27] Veganarkismo: no it's not [11:28] ikonia: everything got wiped out :\ including the ubuntu partition [11:28] Veganarkismo: you have messed up your MBR and partition table [11:28] Kalamansi: Yes, it is. [11:28] ikonia: Yes [11:28] Ok i'll consult the windows guys brb [11:29] thanks for the help people, will be back as soon as ubuntu is up here [11:29] Hello. Help me. I heed to do copy ubuntu mirror on dvd's. How I can do it? [11:30] goodhabit: the mirros is over 70GB [11:30] hello [11:30] goodhabit: a DVD is 8GB [11:30] ikonia, I want only main branch. [11:30] goodhabit: main is 70GB [11:30] And I know about weight of mirrors. [11:31] Ok. [11:31] 70|8=9 [11:31] It is ok for me. === whuffor is now known as fagin [11:31] I'm just need a solution. [11:31] goodhabit: apt-sync ? [11:31] goodhabit: there are some perl scripts === rocco is now known as cbx33 [11:32] mhmm does anyone knows something about kdissert running under ubuntu 7.04? [11:33] i have got an old sony vaio note book, PCG-F80= 64 MB of RAM, 533 Mhz AMD and 5726 MB of storage, i want to install an ubuntu based distro on, xbuntu is very slow, what can i do? [11:33] ikonia, I can't find apt-sync package. [11:33] and [11:33] one more thing, is that it should detect huawei wirless internet modem [11:33] please help me [11:33] i am new to Linux [11:33] marrokinooo, you can use wm instead of de, also ubuntu is not fastest distro in the world. [11:33] goodhabit: mirror-sync [11:34] goodhabit: it's a perl script [11:34] I cannot change the icons and as well not all flags have icons already... [11:34] what is WM?? [11:34] lmnts: what if someone will make fun with my dns? like they will dos or whatever term they call that.. putting your isp's dns is totaly okay? i will not dc especially my server? [11:34] marrokinooo, windows manager. Are you on ubuntu now? [11:34] goodhabit: what is vm and de? [11:34] no [11:35] and I guess it could be a problem of gnome since kdissert requires kde... could this be true? [11:35] marrokinooo, privatemessage me. [11:35] am in windows 2000 [11:35] ok [11:35] Kalamansi: Dont worry about it. Unless you are making trouble for other ppl, they wont bother to DoS your machine. [11:35] G`night [11:35] mhmm can anyone read what i ve written? [11:36] asklepios: yes [11:36] ...:-) lucky i [11:36] ;-) [11:36] but it seems that there is no mindmapper around [11:36] so be it :-) [11:36] Imnts : is there anyway to minimize this dns thing? like you will just assign ip add to pc2 without dns? (tho i tried not putting my isp's dns, pc2 cannot connect to the internet) [11:36] goodhabit: it said i should register somewhere [11:37] Why are there two DEB program packages: 'links' and 'links2'? The Synaptic descriptions do not make clear the difference. [11:37] the brightness controls on this laptop don't work quite right in gutsy. I can turn the brightness down with them, but not back up. is there a command line alternative to turn it back up? [11:37] goodhabit: it said i should register somewhere [11:37] can anyone tell me how to completely disable DPMS in xorg.conf ? I try to set it too "off" but when I do xset -q I stil get "DPMS is Enabled", any ideas ? [11:37] hi, I just installed gutsy amd64 and googled a lot for software to use voice chat with google talk, but no luck. can this be done? [11:37] well i will register myself there [11:38] marrokinooo, you heed to have registered nickname, if you will get some troubles with it, ask #help or #freenode [11:38] bullgard4: They are different versions. Choose links2. [11:39] BusMaster: Please tell me if you find out! :) [11:39] lmnts: What is the main differnce between those two versions? [11:39] ok [11:39] thanks [11:40] how can I turn the brightness up, when the 'sun' button does nothing? [11:40] BusMaster: http://www.gtalk2voip.com/ perhaps that will help. [11:40] bullgard4: No idea. [11:40] lmnts, :) so far I've tried pidgin, kopete and empathy. you can rule those out. I _know_ that tapioca work, btu i can't find the amd64 version [11:40] lmnts: ok [11:40] bullgard4: apt-cache show links; apt-cache show links2, see the Version header. [11:41] The windows people are telling me to install windows!!! :( [11:41] BusMaster: Another good reason for sticking to i386 for the moment. :) [11:41] Veganarkismo: ? [11:41] marrokinooo, yo, just type /msg nickserv register YOUR_PASSWORD [11:41] I only use 64-bit on servers. Don't want the hassle on laptop/workstation. [11:41] :) [11:42] long story, I'll be back in a sec [11:42] lmnts, ehh..well, 64 bit has this sex appeal thing, you know..;-) [11:42] BusMaster: Yes I know, but man, the hassle is annoying. :) [11:42] ggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [11:43] lmnts no other way? [11:43] i hate commad line!!! [11:43] BusMaster: I'd rather have a VT-capable CPU and run a virtual machine with 64-bit if I need something specific. [11:43] lol [11:43] I'm having a weird issue with nfs... I have a directory on a debian box which has been recursively set to a+rx with chmod... when I mount that directory with nfs on my other box I can see the first level of directories, but then there is nothing in the second level... [11:43] hi all) [11:43] lmnts how about you will set a proxy to the firefox and IE? im not sure if its possible [11:43] Kalamansi hi [11:44] Kalamansi: What do you mean? You have two choices, either use your own DNS or your ISP's. Dont worry about DoS. [11:44] Smitney : hello how are things goin there [11:44] Kalamansi: Of course that's possible. But you need a proxy somewhere to connect to. [11:44] lmnts, i thought so too..then I gave in to the sex appeal and 3 frenzied night of configuring, now everything work..flash, video, sound, skype..you name it. _except_ for google talk voice..I even got webcam, nvidia and wireless with ndiswrapper working :) [11:44] it said my nickname is registred [11:44] borbus: if you try to CD into the directories do you get a "permission denied", or does there actually appear to be nothing in there? [11:44] lmnts how to use my own dns? [11:45] but i can't im private you [11:45] BusMaster: All power to you! I would also want it working but didn't find the time yet. Think I will just wait it out till everything works out of the box. [11:45] Schalke1, there is just nothing [11:45] marrokinooo, that means what your nickname is busy. You have to change it to unregistered one. [11:46] marrokinooo, jabber account? [11:46] Kalamansi: Uhm, you configure your machine to use your own DNS. That is /etc/resolv.conf. [11:46] nop [11:46] Kalamansi I from Ukraine) [11:46] i use skype!!! [11:46] I've changed dns server for my desktop. Do I need to restart anything for it to be effective? [11:46] i have problem also to my firestarter. every 3 minutes or 6 minutes it disappear from my taskbar.. i cannot see the logs.. i have to manually run it again so i could see the logs.. is there anyway to open the firewall always on the task bar? [11:46] marrokinooo, #bubobaka [11:46] now [11:46] marrokinooo how long? [11:46] XiXaQ: Sometimes I've noticed that Firefox needs a restart. [11:46] Imnts : i have problem also to my firestarter. every 3 minutes or 6 minutes it disappear from my taskbar.. i cannot see the logs.. i have to manually run it again so i could see the logs.. is there anyway to open the firewall always on the task bar? [11:46] ??? [11:47] sorry??? [11:47] borbus: sounds like a misconfig of the NFS server to not recursively share directories. [11:47] marrokinooo, /join #bubobaka [11:47] omg. [11:47] Schalke1, my exports file looks like this: /mnt *(rw,no_root_squash) [11:47] Kalamansi: I don't know everything, no idea. :) [11:47] ah [11:47] Smitney : thats nice.. how may help you? [11:47] borbus: i never used NFS, so i dont know what export files are :P [11:47] borbus: samba for me :D [11:48] Kalamansi my english is very bad,I dont can explane [11:48] Imnts : i will just change my isp's dns? is it okay? [11:48] Smitney : me too. english is not my 1st language [11:48] Kalamansi because I speek ukrainian,not english [11:48] Schalke1, I have samba on the server too but nfs is faster [11:48] Kalamansi: Sure. That's what it's there for. [11:49] I've never had an issue with it before.. [11:49] borbus: ah, that i didnt know [11:49] Kalamansi I must go to university,bye :) [11:49] borbus: nfs exports only one filesystem [11:49] hello everybody [11:49] fevel hi and bye) [11:49] Smitney wait [11:50] is it possible to search for a keyword on all textfiles on a system from the command line? [11:50] Kalamansi I stay [11:50] bye Smitney [11:50] Kalamansi fast man,my time is go... [11:50] fevel: You may use "grep -r the-text some-files", where some-files may be /home/your-home or similar. [11:51] kernelparameters.txt writes: "The video mode to be used is selected by a kernel parameter which can be specified in the kernel Makefile (the SVGA_MODE=... line) or ..." What does 'SVGA' stand here for? [11:51] Smitney : what is your email add or you have yahoo messenger ? [11:51] fevel: Or press ALT+F3 and use Deskbar Applet, it's faster. [11:51] void^, so.. does it? I have exported a directory before and been able to access the second level directories... [11:51] Or is it because I'm try to export mounts? [11:51] Kalamansi I dont have yahoo messenger,but i have e-mail [11:52] Imnts : this is the contents of my /etc/resolv.conf .. nameserver 45.33.231.23 .. can i change it to 192.168.5.0? is that all? no more to add? i dont want to mess again with my ubuntu and reinstall again [11:52] Smitney : what is you email add? [11:52] Kalamansi 225887711-my ICQ,if you want-write me [11:52] !pastebin [11:52] pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic) [11:52] SOS I don't have a reboot and shutdown button anymore just a logout button. how do i get that back please? [11:52] Smitney : you wanna make friends with me? [11:52] Kalamansi mail@smitney.org.ua [11:52] Kalamansi: 192.168.5.0 would be your network address, and not a specific machine. That will not work. [11:53] Imnts : can you give me a sample nameserver to put in my etc resolv please? thanks [11:53] Kalamansi: Changing your resolv.conf will not mess up the installation in any way. Just change back if it doesnt work. [11:53] borbus: directories aren't filesystems. if you export /mnt and you have another filesystem mounted at /mnt/foo, /mnt/foo will be empty [11:53] Kalamansi i must go,sorry [11:53] Smitney what is your email? [11:53] void^, Ahh.. it seems to work if I just mount the individual mounts [11:53] Kalamansi: Use the nameserver that your ISP provides for you. [11:53] Imnts : my server gateway is 192.168.2.1 [11:54] how to enable direct rendering? This shows up if i enter glxinfo|grep dir: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/51999/plain/ [11:54] Kalamansi smitney@ukr.net take) [11:54] borbus: yes, one filesystem at a time. [11:54] void^, thanks, I didn't know there was actually a difference [11:54] Imnts : but if i use my isp's dns i will still use it to pc2 workstation? [11:54] But it makes sense of cours [11:54] it sais try setting up LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose, how to set that? [11:54] Imnts : how about assigning a fake dns to workstation pc2? [11:54] Smitney : okay we can be friends mate. im from philippines [11:55] Kalamansi very nice) [11:55] Smitney : you take there mate. ill email you soon [11:55] I need some help [11:55] who has a minute? [11:55] Smitney : you take care there [11:55] borbus: there's a nohide option to export all mounts in a directory tree but it's potentially unreliable and a little tricky [11:56] Imnts : what if i will not use my isp's dns. how to assign a fake dns? im not good in scripting and numbers of dns on what to assign... [11:57] yo [11:57] what is the latest ubuntu version [11:57] as in testing, not stable [11:58] 7.10 [11:58] help? anybody? [11:58] Kalamansi: This has nothing to do with scripting. Assigning a non-existant (fake?) DNS is possible, but you will only be able to communicate with the internet using IP addresses and not names. www.hotmail.com for example is not accessible, since the computer cannot look up the IP of the name. [11:58] so I'm just going to throw my questiono out there [11:58] DarthSOup: just ask the question [11:58] Kalamansi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_name_system [11:58] void^, ahh, well that's ok, it's better mounting them seperately anyway... to save me looking it up... what's the best way to automatically mount nfs on startup? Do you use fstab for that too? [11:59] Kalamansi what are you trying to achieve [11:59] If this is for a company or whatnot, i solve it for you at the appropriate hourly rates [11:59] I have an asus motherboard with a wireless card. I apparently need to install the drivers to get the wireless capabilities going, but when I throw in the disk of drivers that came with the motherboard, I don't know which drivers to install, how to install, etc. [11:59] borbus: fstab works [11:59] famicon: :D [12:00] lmnts drugs and hookers dont come cheap you know [12:00] void^, do you know what happens if fstab fails to mount an nfs export? ie. if the server is down... does it just fail silently? [12:00] DarthSOup what is the card [12:01] borbus: it hangs and timeouts unless you specify an option like bg to make it retry in background [12:01] famicon: Yes, the life of a computer nerd can be hard sometimes. :P [12:01] famicon: lmnts: i just want to hide my isp's dns. like i will use a fake dns to my workstation pc2..im afraid of dos... is it possible? my gateway in eth1 is 192.168.2.1 .. how about assigning a dns to pc2 workstation a dns like 192.168.5.0? before doing that i will change first my resolv.conf to 192.168.5.0 ... is that possible? [12:01] M2N32-SLI Deluxe [12:01] DarthSOup: thats a motherboard, not a network card [12:02] Kalamansi it is possible if you pay me 100 bucks an hour [12:02] ill share my enterprise network rig [12:02] I know...but the motherboard comes with the wireless card [12:02] it's one package [12:02] Kalamansi: I think you have been in here asking about this before [12:02] void^, is that the best thing? If the server is down then it's probably not going to be back any time soon... will retrying just waste resources? [12:02] Kalamansi: and you where told the same thing then [12:02] DarthSOup check lspci output [12:02] ikonia : yeah because i want to use fake dns.. not my real isp's dns ... [12:02] Ispci? [12:03] Hi guys, I need help with my SONY Vaio VGN-FZ140E [12:03] Kalamansi and you where told that does not work, and that you should contact your ISP to get the correct information [12:03] Kalamansi: Ok, now... there is no such thing as a "fake" DNS. [12:03] There, problem solved. [12:03] Anyone ? [12:03] lmnts thank you [12:03] actually, there is something like it [12:03] famicon: In what sense? [12:03] Kalamansi, you want to create a 'split horizon' DNS? [12:03] famicon, what is Ispci? [12:03] famicon: Hidden DNS? Over VPN? [12:03] Raseel: saying anyone is pointless [12:03] lmnts somethin gliek that [12:03] in some order [12:04] hi: how can I find what is going wrong when I'm installing ubuntu 7.10 in an amd64? [12:04] and DarthSOup just try that on a commandline [12:04] koltan check the log files [12:04] I wouldn't call that a fake DNS. [12:04] ikonia: Sorry, I'm a noob. But keep correcting me whenever I go wrong [12:04] koltan: what is the problem [12:04] famicon...what does it do? [12:04] pvh_sa|wrk: Doesn't seem that he intends to create a split horizon either, from what I can tell. [12:04] it will kick you in the nuts [12:04] Kalamansi, i.e. you want one set of names to be valid on the internal network, but you don't want that set of names to be visible to the outside world? [12:04] Raseel: I've not seen you ask a question, so saying anyone ? means nothing to me [12:04] pvh_sa|wrk: thats not what he wants [12:04] DarthSOup actually what it does is that it will give a listing of the pci stuff [12:04] borbus: doubt it will hurt much.. you can just set it to noauto,user or something like that of course [12:05] eg mobo chipsets [12:05] famicon: Ubunto doesn't start. It stops at executing the local script [12:05] * pvh_sa|wrk tries to figure out what DNS has got to do with DOS [12:05] which local script [12:05] famicon: where are the instalation logs? [12:05] /var/log [12:05] famicon, I'm totally new to linux here [12:05] ikonia:Gotcha !!! I have trouble with my head-phone jack on my Sony Vaio VGN-FZ140E with ubuntu Gutsy, and the ubuntu-laptop channel is not responding. [12:05] ahahahaha [12:06] anyone here has a pwc webcam? [12:06] my logitech quickcam doesn't work well in gutsy but it worked well on feisty [12:06] ikonia:I can hear sound when I boot into Vista (sory for saying the "v" word here :-)) [12:06] lmnts: ikonia : pvh_sa|wrk: i tried to change my resolv.conf like for example my isp's dns is 12.34.234.12 .. i change it to 192.168.5.0 and i use it to pc2 workstation and the result is failed.. pc2 cannot connect to internet if i use 192.168.5.0 dns.. but if i use the dns of my isp i pc2 can connect to internet... how to setup a fake dns to resolv.conf? [12:06] there seems to be a problem with the pwc driver in gutsy [12:07] ikonia:But when i boot into Ubunut, I still hear from the Laptop speakers and no sound from the head-phones [12:07] Kalamansi does that adress have an actual resolver running on it [12:07] famicon: It's the network address (assuming a class C network)... dont bother. :) [12:07] unless you have either bind9 handling those querries its not gonna work [12:07] lmnts yeah i know [12:07] * famicon has several Class C ranges regged in his name [12:07] shit i cannot explain it well i guess [12:07] * famicon is awesome like that [12:08] english is not my 1st language thats the problem [12:08] hehehe [12:08] Kalamansi, so you want a local DNS, but it must also work for resolving on the internet, right? so you need to set your DNS on 192.168.5.0 to forward queries to your ISP's DNS... making sense? [12:08] errrrrrrrrrrrrrr [12:08] Kalamansi: yes, you need a resolver still.. as famicon said [12:08] famicon: Operate your own AS? [12:08] what the! the! [12:08] hehehe [12:08] where is the open-nautilus-on-usb-stick-plug-in defined? === elwo0d is now known as elwo0d_Pranzo [12:08] lmnts something like that [12:08] got my own little registrar/isp going for me [12:08] pvh_sa|wrk: yes. like i will use a fake one (dns) [12:08] Just about to register an AS for a startup. [12:08] Kalamansi: You should try DNS Proxy utilities. Try dproxy [12:09] lmnts we need to work together! [12:09] :D [12:09] from sweden right? [12:09] :) [12:09] Yes. [12:09] Kalamansi, so in your local DNS you will set up records for your local zone that is not visible to the rest of the world (e.g. pc1.mydomain), and also it will forward queries for on-internet things (like www.google.com) ? [12:09] hi there people... does anyone in here have some knowledge with apache ant ...??? I am having trouble building some files for the google calendar apis, I have run diagnostics and I see that core tasks and optional tasks are unset. there are also many other parameters which appear to be erroneous [12:10] famicon: Hmm, I need to register PMs, apparently. [12:10] got msn? [12:10] I was a windowsfag that is new to Linux. :( [12:10] Can anyone give me a link to some basic information? Like [12:10] pvh_sa|wrk: I suggested that Kalamansi may be looking got a DNS proxy utility like Dproxy or DNSmasque [12:10] Raseel, yeah, except he also seems to want some local info in it [12:11] File system information [12:11] pvh_sa|wrk:You can include /etc/hosts info in it too [12:11] Like where is my desktop? Where do I install shit so it affects all users? etc [12:11] i3ear, there are loads of links out there... what exactly do you want to learn [12:11] pvh_sa|wrk: okay i will explain again.. my pc1 is server ubuntu which is the gateway of my two pcs pc2 and pc3.. pc2 and pc3 uses a dns of my isp.. how to use a fake dns for both pc2 and pc3? because im afraid of dos when im in the middle of uploading files [12:11] Raseel, ok, never used that... [12:11] Basic n00b stuff [12:11] hey [12:11] ok... [12:11] whats the command to stop gnome [12:11] Like [12:12] i3ear, your Desktop will be under /home/(your user name)/Desktop [12:12] Where do I install Javascript so it affects my computer globaly? [12:12] Hey Kalamansi : Download, compile and run Dproxy on pc1, then in /etc/resolv.conf of pc2 and pc3, point to pc1 ipaddress [12:12] What are the terminal commands? [12:12] Essental stuff like that [12:12] Alright [12:12] How do I restart my Xserver from a TTY? [12:13] Helvasca ctrl alt backspace [12:13] try searching "basic linux commands" [12:13] Kalamansi: and in /etc/resolv.conf of pc1, put the real DNS given by your ISP [12:13] ~# apt-get install Dproxy [12:13] Reading package lists... Done [12:13] Building dependency tree [12:13] Reading state information... Done [12:13] E: Couldn't find package Dproxy [12:13] root@eversun-desktop:~# [12:13] google [12:13] famicon: not from within a tty [12:13] Kalamansi, its not a 'fake DNS', its a forwarding DNS... [12:13] /etc/init.d/gdm restart then [12:13] famicon: From in a tty not the running x [12:13] thanks [12:14] Kalamansi : http://dproxy.sourceforge.net/ [12:14] Raseel: yes there is already..i dont want to use my isp's dns to my pc2 and pc3 thats why i really need help on how to use a fake dns..not using dns of my isps..im afraid of dos.. [12:15] Kalamansi: You need to compile this package and edit /etc/dproxy.conf file on your pc1. Also, pc1 has to have ISP's DNS in its /etc/resolve.conf [12:15] pvh_sa|wrk: how oto do that forwarding dns? [12:15] Kalamansi: After this, in /etc/resolv.conf of pc2 and pc3, give pc1 address as the fake DNS entry [12:16] Kalamansi, well, you can go the dproxy route like Raseel is talking about, or install bind and put your ISPs DNS address in the 'forwarders' section of named.conf (and config the all the /etc/resolv.conf files to point to your pc1) [12:17] Raseel: done downloading the .tar how to compile this? i am not very good in scripting... [12:17] pvh_sa|wrk : Yes, thats what I'm talking about [12:17] hi ppl i dunno what i've done that each time i boot ubuntu it goes to a root(terminal like screen) and i must write "shutdown -r now" to get in ubuntu, can u help?? [12:18] Kalamansi: this is not the place to discuss dproxy building support [12:18] Kalamansi: this is a support area for ubuntu and ubuntu supported products/services [12:18] can any one help? [12:18] ikonia : sorry... [12:19] Kalamansi: no need to be sorry [12:21] "hi ppl i dunno what i've done that each time i boot ubuntu it goes to a root(terminal like screen) and i must write "shutdown -r now" to get in ubuntu, can u help??" [12:21] siavash_: after it reboots does it boot ubuntu ? [12:21] yea it shows loading [12:22] but after it goes to terminal [12:22] siavash_: please login to the terminal and show me "uname -a" [12:22] "Linux SiaPc 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Tue Dec 18 08:02:57 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux" [12:23] siavash_: dpkg -l | grep -i xorg [12:23] can i pm it?

This is IRC, not IM, and using those lines on their own is not required, and it is rather annoying to the rest of the people in the channel; thanks. [12:28] siavash_: did you do anything else, such as update your video card drivers (restricted manager) anything like that [12:28] hmm i did that but it was working after i did it [12:28] oh, i remembred i installed virtualbox [12:28] siavash_: what video card do you have ? [12:28] siavash if you login to terminal [12:28] can you start X ? [12:28] nvidia 7600 [12:28] start x??? [12:29] how?? :P [12:29] Lokii-: isn't there normally an "x cannot find an usable screen" type error if it's borked on startup ? [12:29] been a while but i believe its "start x" [12:29] startx [12:29] no space [12:29] i use "shutdown -r now" and it goes to login page [12:29] siavash_: thats a reboot [12:29] hang on [12:30] k [12:30] so you reboot and it goes back to a graphical login ? [12:30] yea [12:30] try init 3 at the prompt? [12:30] siavash_: grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log [12:30] and btw when it goes to terminal its root@siapc not my user [12:30] or startx [12:30] ikona.. i forget which file it'd be in but he should check to make sure he has his monitor defined as vt100 aswell [12:30] InspectorCluseau: ubuntu runs at 2 by default [12:31] ok init 2 [12:31] siavash_: it's booting into single user mode [12:31] Hi.

[12:33] i dunno then [12:33] Kalamansi: as I've told you before, ring and ask them [12:33] siavash_ thats dpkg -l | grep xorg again [12:33] ops :)))) [12:34] hello guys is it really okay to put my isp's dns to my pc2 and pc3 workstation? [12:34] Kalamansi ring your ISP and ask them [12:34] Kalamansi: they will tell you the rules [12:34] Kalamansi: if you are all connecting through the same broadband router then you can assume yes [12:34] :))) here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52006/plain/ [12:34] ikonia i did that last afternoon i call them and they dont know [12:34] Kalamansi they don't know if you are allowed to use their own dns servers....I doubt that [12:34] can someone please tell me the correct way to set JAVA_HOME so that apache ant works properly?? [12:35] siavash_: according to that the default is 4 change it to 0 [12:35] Kalamansi: some isp's frown on that activity; ymmv [12:35] would it be like this export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-7-icedtea ant [12:35] k [12:35] lankke ant is a command [12:36] I've just created an encrypted partition on an external USB disk (sdb1) using sudo luksformat -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 -- now I need to figure out how to mount it.

[12:39] Hello people [12:39] qos: as in what ssh client [12:39] ikonia, how to i find out? [12:39] qos: what application are you opening to use as an ssh client [12:39] bullgard4, D is not part of the word, it's the command line flag to gcc, so what it sets is just SVGA [12:40] tilda [12:40] i get about 2 seconds of the console res that i want then it goes back to default i have only tried vesafb driver and not sure what else to try [12:40] ikonia, tilda [12:40] _ [12:40] nn all [12:40] qos: I've never used tilda so I have no idea how to set terminal emmulation up in it === krel is now known as vkrel [12:40] qos, whats about screen? [12:40] i think its a monitor thing but how do you find out what drivers to try next [12:40] qos: tilde is not an ssh client, its a terminal. [12:42] Juhaz: And what does the 'D' command line flag stand for? [12:42] has anyone set a console res without using vesafb? [12:43] bullgard4, define. [12:43] Juhaz: Thank you for explaining. [12:43] bullgard4, it sets a macro, same as if you'd have #define SVGA NORMAL_VGA in the code [12:44] Juhaz: yes, ok. [12:44] ikonia, do you know how to set this in terminal?

[12:54] qos: If you right click on it, you should get some settings, just modify those to fit your needs. Or use just use gnome-terminal [12:54] siavash_: right, I need you to boot from the livecd, and I then need you to run fsck -n /dev/$device_your_root_file_system_is_on [12:54] Pici, what are my needs? ;) [12:54] thanks Lokii- [12:54] siavash_: you will need to use "sudo" [12:54] ok so call u after i done [12:54] thx [12:54] qos: I dont know, you're the one asking about specific terminal emulation settings. [12:55] Pici, how do i find out which settings are needed? [12:55] Sheesh, gparted takes FOREVER!

[12:59] okay... i'm confused [12:59] Is JAVA_HOME=/ supposed to be the path to the jdk folder or is it supposed to point to the binary? [13:00] lankke: your java environment [13:00] eg: /usr/bin for java home if your binary is in /usr/bin/ [13:00] it is there... but I don't understand how this would help ant [13:01] lankke: what are you trying to do ?

The problem is with libtool when making the library [13:11] Anybody there knows libtool well ? My error is here : http://pastebin.com/d942cf88 [13:12] Siavash_: not after -y [13:12] My video output for xvid in VLC, Mplayer and Movie Player isn't very good. Possible problems?

[13:18] Siavash_: reboot [13:18] ok [13:19] sorry guys - the junk I mean is like all the temp files left over like in this http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/01/10/dont-let-gnomes-text-editor-leave-hidden-files/ [13:19] can someone please tell me how to throw my computer out the window. i used to believe in open source all the way but now i'm not so sure [13:21] I need help. I just installed Ubuntu 7.10 on my desktop, the install worked without any "errors" but, when in the last 2 seconds before it said the install had finished I noticed it installed GRUB to hd0. HD0 is a storage drive for me, and not even bootable. I install to sda, because that's my bootable SATA drive. The PATA drive that "HD0" is identified as is not even bootable. [13:21] How do I remove GRUB from HD0, safely? And put it on SDA? [13:21] GeekChick|: hd0 is probably sda already [13:21] you cannot remove grub. you can only install it somewhere else or overwrite it [13:21] ikonia, no, because when I reboot, it goes straight to XP. [13:22] SDA is the drive i installed to [13:22] SD0 is 1/4th the storage size [13:22] HD0 rather [13:22] how is it possible that I can't find the .bash_profile file in my home directory [13:22] ...??? [13:22] one problem after another [13:22] GeekChick|: what's in your /boot/grub/device.map [13:22] lankke_, it's a hidden file. 'ls -la' will show it [13:22] lankke_: .profile [13:23] erawfish, I cant boot into Ubuntu because HD0 isnt bootable. [13:23] GRUB was not installed to SDA [13:23] yeah i knew that the .profile was there.... [13:23] the computer immediately boots Windows XP [13:23] hello, how to see files on ntsf disc partition? [13:23] ikonia: i am back [13:23] answer my questions please [13:23] siavash_: ok [13:23] ntfs-3g | antipop [13:23] hey guys. i am connected via ssh to my ubuntu server, but when i am pressing up and down arrows not the command i inserted before will shown but the these signs: "^[[A" "^[[B" [13:23] so... can i add things like # export ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant [13:23] # export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk [13:23] # export PATH=${PATH}:${ANT_HOME}/bin [13:23] to the end of the file [13:23] lankke_: sure [13:24] ok [13:24] thanks [13:24] i will try it [13:24] ikonia: any other suggestion? [13:24] lankke_: why do you have a custom java? [13:24] siavash_: your still having the same problem [13:24] ikonia : yea [13:24] erawfish, I did answer you... [13:24] siavash_: so what happens, exactly when you boot [13:25] what do you mean??? I have icedtea java and i'm install google apis [13:25] but it's not working [13:25] the files i stated before are only examples [13:25] lankke_: java is not normally in /usr/local [13:25] icedtea java is not complete java. why can't you install a Sun JDK? [13:25] why the hell would GRUB install itself on a hard drive seperate from the one Ubuntu was installed to? [13:25] Hey guys I am having a serious problem getting my sound working in ubuntu gutsy (gnome) my sound card is: 00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) i have tried everything sometimes it says an error other times in xmms it plays just with no sound? [13:25] GeekChick|: cause it thinks it's the first harddisk on the system [13:26] you know what... I'm going to install java sdk [13:26] erawfish, how do I fix it? [13:26] i've had enough [13:26] !java | lankke_ [13:26] lankke_: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy) [13:26] GeekChick|: answer my question [13:26] erawfish, i did. [13:26] anyone? [13:27] GeekChick|: you did not [13:27] ikonia:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52015/plain/ [13:27] erawfish, I DID. I said I cant even boot into Ubuntu because HD0 isnt bootable, its only a storage drive with NTFS partition 100% its size. SDA is where I installed Ubuntu, since GRUB decided to install itself to HD0 I can never get into GRUB and therefore never into UBUNTU. [13:27] I DID ANSWER IT [13:28] caps GeekChick| [13:28] I did not ask that. come back when you can answer. HAND [13:28] anyone? [13:28] siavash_: and thats why I told you to be accurate with me [13:28] siavash_: thank you for wasting my time totally [13:28] erawfish, accurate with what? [13:28] ikonia: why?? [13:28] has anybody here managed to install apache ant and java iced tea successfully? [13:29] siavash_: it's complaining that your UUID number is invalid [13:29] i'm begging to think that it's impossible [13:29] Hey guys I am having a serious problem getting my sound working in ubuntu gutsy (gnome) my sound card is: 00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller (rev 02) i have tried everything sometimes it says an error other times in xmms it plays just with no sound? [13:29] lankke_: why do you insist on icedtea? [13:29] ikonia: and? [13:29] ikonia: what is uuid? [13:29] because i was told to use it... should I uninstall it and install jdk 6.0 [13:29] == [13:29] siavash_: a pretty important part of the error that you should have told me when I told you to report exactly what the problem was [13:29] erawfish, how the heck am I supposed to paste /boot/grub/device.map if I can't even boot Ubuntu because GRUB installed itself on the wrong drive, one which A.) was not the drive I said for Ubuntu to install on, and B.) is not a bootable drive. [13:30] ikonia: i told i didnt know it completely [13:30] hi. i have ubuntu 6.06, how can i upgrade to the newest version? [13:30] Can anyone help me with sound please? [13:30] erawfish thanks :) [13:30] GeekChick|: you have a live CD. use it [13:30] siavash_: I told you to be exact, you have wated me time [13:30] !grub | GeekChick|, You can reinstall Grub using these instructions and specify where you want it to be installed [13:30] ikonia: any way sry [13:30] GeekChick|, You can reinstall Grub using these instructions and specify where you want it to be installed: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [13:30] dusty-sts: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-atiixp ati ixp400 is _evil_ for AC97 [13:30] ahh right [13:31] as i am finding out [13:31] the hard way ;) [13:31] dgjones, ok, but how do I remove GRUB from the MBR of a drive that is not bootable which should have never had GRUB installed on it by Ubuntu not listening to me? [13:31] hi. i have ubuntu 6.06, how can i upgrade to the newest version? [13:31] you can never remove grub from a MBR. all you can do is overwrite it [13:32] !upgrade | Beererde [13:32] Beererde: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes [13:32] erawfish: thanks [13:32] ....so, will the drive be harmed by GRUB being there? [13:32] no [13:32] (as a sn NTFS storage drive) [13:32] repeat: "ikonia: anyway sry" [13:32] GeekChick|, as erawfish says, you can't remove it, but by installing where you need, that wrong version it'll be ignored [13:33] GeekChick|, yeah, like dgjones says, the MBR only really matters if you're planning to boot off that drive ;) it won't harm the filesystem at all [13:33] what external USB DVD RW should I buy? I want one that works out of the box with Feisty, preferably one that can work with USB 1 or USB2. [13:33] dgjones, does Ubuntu prioritize hard drives by their interface type? Does Parallel ATA take precidence over Serial ATA drives? [13:34] ikonia ?? [13:34] I'm running an EVGA 680i SLI motherboard and it has a legacy PATA channel i use. [13:34] GeekChick|, I don't know about that, something i've not come across [13:34] hrlloi [13:35] how do i exit x window to install nvidia drivers? [13:35] Hello man!

[13:35] (hd0) /dev/hda, (hd1) /dev/hdb, (hd2) /dev/sda [13:35] It looks like Ubuntu prioritizes PATA over SATA :( [13:36] thinh, CTRL+ALT+F1 .. login at that terminal .. and issue this command -- /etc/init.d/gdm stop [13:36] erawfish, rebooting fingers crossed [13:36] :) [13:36] GeekChick|, does it matter really? === fevel__ is now known as fevel [13:36] Hi, how would I add something from /etc/init.d/ to autostart on init? [13:36] unop, yah, because installs fail miserably if your drive is not automatically hd0? [13:36] and you install to sda like my case [13:37] I get bad video output from xvid, what could be the problem? [13:37] ohh great, thx anyway ikonia and sry 4 wasting your time [13:37] GeekChick|: it does not. and it has nothing to do with ubuntu but with your BIOS only [13:38] k, so 'find /boot/grub/stage1' returned (hd2,3) [13:38] r00723r0, add a script in /etc/init.d and then place a symlink to it in /etc/rcX.d .. X being the runlevel you wish the script to be invoked in [13:38] how do I change the commands on this page correctly? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [13:38] Thanks. What about something like kexec, where it should only run at shutdown? [13:38] I try to connect a video projector to my laptop, but i can't get it to work. I tried configuring it through Screens and Graphics, but after a reboot my xserver crashed. Is't there some immediate option to get the projector running? [13:39] r00723r0, it would be invoked at runlevel 6 .. so it should be placed in /etc/rc6.d .. [13:39] unop, thanks :) [13:39] where are mysql databases stored? what should I do to back them up prior to reinstalling ubuntu? === siavash_ is now known as Maleki === Maleki is now known as ubusia [13:40] joachim-n: /var/lib/mysql/ [13:40] tx erawfish [13:41] anyone had any luck with mailman? i followed the guide on help.ubuntu.com but the problem is the mail gets denied by postfix because mailman doesnt take care of the mail [13:41] unop, seems like it's already there. How do I get kexec to work? [13:41] hello. i have just installed a netgear wg311 wifi card on an xubuntu Pentium III box by following this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3 and the installation was succesfull. could anyone please tell me how to go about linking the card with my netgear router which is running on the machine i currently am? [13:41] joachim-n, it would be better to use mysqldump to make a backup of your databases i should think [13:41] how do you shutdown x window, killing the gdm still left my x window active, cant install nvidia drivers when x is active [13:41] erawfish, now if I ever remove GRUB/Ubuntu, how do you then remove the one on SDA if Ubuntu only wants to touch HD0 on its own? [13:41] thinh: sudo i [13:41] thinh: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop [13:42] i did [13:42] r00723r0, what is the full filename of the kexec script in that directory? [13:42] hi, can somebody help me with my tracker search not indexing my files plz? [13:42] all it said was gdm aborting but nothing else happend [13:42] thinh: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm zap = [13:42] unop, S85kexec [13:42] anyone worked with mailman [13:42] And K39kexec-load [13:42] let me try that [13:42] Now when I reboot, GRUB tells me "Error 22: NO Such partition", .... [13:43] r00723r0, hmm, and you sure it's in /etc/rc6.d ? [13:43] Yes. [13:43] r00723r0, wait, is that /etc/rc6.d/S85kexec or /etc/rc6.d/K39kexec-load ? [13:44] unop, It's both. [13:44] anyone worked with mailman [13:44] larsemil: anyone have a sensible question/problem? [13:45] r00723r0, well, it seems to me that the latter one is getting invoked first .. and by definition K scripts are invoked to stop the daemons/services they are responsible for .. so in this case, you'd need to rename S85kexec to S1exec (careful not to overwrite anything) [13:45] r00723r0, it might be better to use update-rc.d to do this for you [13:46] You mean S1kexec. [13:46] can anybody help me on connecting a netgear wifi card with the router? [13:46] what's the best way to listen to music that's on my iMac from my laptop running ubuntu? [13:46] r00723r0, aye, yes [13:46] I tried sshfs but that gave me pretty substantial problems [13:46] nanbudh: what chip on the card? [13:46] erawfish, unop, now grub tells me 'Error 22: No Such Parition" when I try to boot Ubuntu from GRUB, and it tells me something about not finding NTLDR when I try to boot Windows XP. [13:47] guys .. whats the best software for ipod for ubuntu? [13:47] !best [13:47] Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors. If you really insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there. [13:47] erawfish: i installed using this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Netgear_WG311_v3 and everything went accordingly. so it must be what it says [13:47] GeekChick|, hmm, i must admit not knowing too much about configuring grub for dual-boot scenarios [13:47] then what do u reccomend :) ? [13:47] amerio: depends what you wanna do. usually rhythmbox should be the one [13:47] nanbudh: answer my question please [13:48] GeekChick|, so, grub was installed on the MBR of the first PATA hdd riht? [13:48] amerio: either amarok or rhythmbox, depending on what kind of ipod it is and what you want to do [13:48] danube just transfering files and organizing my playlists [13:48] !gtkpod | amerio [13:48] Sorry, I don't know anything about gtkpod - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [13:48] wow [13:48] !info gtkpod | amerio [13:48] amerio: gtkpod: manage songs and playlists on an Apple iPod. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.99.10-2 (gutsy), package size 695 kB, installed size 2620 kB [13:48] amerio: have you tried rhythmbox? [13:48] obutu lack in knowledge :P [13:49] unop, yah and that never booted, it should have been on SDA, however, with the tutorial given by erawfish I ran those commands, and now i cant even boot Windows XP anymore...as GRUB says it cant find NTLDR. So it's broken further now. [13:49] GeekChick|: I did not give you any tutorial. please don't misattribute [13:49] thanx unop [13:49] erawfish, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [13:49] you triggered ubotu [13:50] GeekChick|: you are wrong. please don't misattribute, thank you [13:50] Well either you or someone there at time. [13:50] I think you. Whatever. [13:50] GeekChick|, see its like this -- the BIOS determines which HDD interface to start looking for bootable HDDs .. in your case, i assume thats the first PATA hdd .. now, you need grub on the MBR of that drive which in turn points you to the various operating systems on any arbitrary disks around [13:50] It's broken worse. [13:50] < dgjones> !grub | GeekChick|, You can reinstall Grub using these instructions and specify where you want it to be installed [13:51] GeekChick|, can you post the URL to the howto you are using ? [13:51] yah but if you go into the BIOS. the boot priority of the hard drives is SATA1, PATA1, PATA2 [13:51] erawfish: sorry but i know very little about hardware but i assume following the link i mentioned that it must be given in the this output: 00:08.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88w8835 [Libertas] 802.11b/g Wireless (rev 03) [13:51] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [13:51] GeekChick|, ok, so grub should be installed to the SATA1 hdd then [13:51] does this output mention what chipset it is? [13:52] yes. so what is exactly the problem? [13:52] unop, but it was installed to PATA1, and then i manually put it onto SATA1 following the tutorial given in this channel. [13:52] need to create a dvd image of my entire disk. can you recommend a decent software? [13:53] TheLynx: mondo [13:53] its actually this that i do not know what to do next. i mean how to connect the card to the router (also of netgear) [13:53] the end result of said tutorial is i have GRUB on two hard drives, the one on the SATA is booting, BUT it gives me error 22, cant find partition when i try to boot ubuntu, and cant find NTLDR when i try to boot windows [13:53] erawfish: included in the repos?

[15:50] Sorry to keep asking, but anyone using gutsy with VMware Server in a production environment? [15:50] hmm [15:50] Djerkaf: Instead of pci=irqpoll the syntax might be just irqpoll by itself. Been a while since I needed to use it [15:51] kost_: for a couple of minutes, got to get ready for work [15:51] Jack_Sparrow: sorry for that, thought it was a better way :) [15:51] nickrud ok I tried to do the check.. But guess what?? Nothing happened it started to Load Linux Kernel [15:51] and then poof [15:51] Going to sleep. [15:52] genii: so I should just take away the "pci=" part before ircpoll, you mean? [15:52] I can't launch the game from terminal [15:52] Djerkaf: Yes [15:52] kost_: ok, it's probably a bad burn. do the md5sum on the iso you downloaded, I'll post a link following, and be sure to burn the cd at a slow speed [15:52] !md5 | kost_ [15:52] xand_: It helps to know the nature of the problem so that someone with experience in that area will go look rather than everyone going to look. [15:52] Djerkaf: irqpoll and not ircpoll incidentally :) [15:52] kost_: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [15:53] link one or 2?

[15:58] zobban you need to recompile light http to apply that patch [15:58] so i need to install light http first [15:58] xand_: No.. is it set to automount removeable media.. since that seems to be the problem [15:59] zobban: no - you need to re-compile it, with that patch applied === mc44_v3 is now known as profanephobia [15:59] how can I set up /my/python.py as my shell?

[16:00] is that vulnrebility scanner [16:00] ikonia, it says no such file or directory [16:01] zobban: trust me, let ubuntu manage your packages, the package maintainers are more on top of it than you or I [16:01] Jack_Sparrow: oh sorry, where do i see this option? [16:01] ikonia, /home/lukasz/nquake [16:01] samad909: You may need to get the alternate cd text install.. [16:01] lukasz: you said it was called equake [16:01] aargh [16:01] sry confused [16:01] xand_: what do you have in system-- pref-- removeable drives and media [16:01] its nquake I mispelled it' [16:01] alright [16:01] lukasz: ./nquake [16:01] okI try [16:02] Hi. [16:02] i thought livecd would support this hardware [16:02] robertj: if you wan't your program to run when you go into an _interactive_ shell, add some detection code and run it from .bashrc [16:02] Still didn't work ikonia [16:02] lukasz: what does it say [16:02] ikonia, No such file or directory [16:02] Jack_Sparrow: first three checked [16:02] lukasz: what directory are you in when you run this [16:02] nickrud I think i am doing the test right === gopherdo1 is now known as gopherdoc [16:03] genii: Unknown option 'irqpoll' [16:03] ikonia, it is in home/lukasz [16:03] lukasz: what directory are YOU in when you run that command [16:03] genii: I will try only "irqpoll" [16:03] lukasz: pwd === bbb2 is now known as andrei [16:03] samad909: It cant possibly support all hardware.. But things like how fast / speed it was burned and user errors are also issues..

I used Qtparted to delete a partition and recreate a new one with the freespace, the new one is now called 4G volume and whenever I try to open it, it requires me to type in the root password, is there any way to get it to work just like the other partitions without the root password? [16:03] lukasz: how can you be, you told me that nquake is file - not a directory [16:03] Jack_Sparrow: isnt the hardware i listed all new? also i did cd integrity checks [16:04] Jack_Sparrow: hope they are in same order because my language is portuguese [16:04] genii: with just "irqpoll", - "pci=" did not make it work. [16:04] samad909: I have a couple of Dells and an HP that would not do anything unless burned at 4x.. makes no sense to me.. but it is true. If your cd does the self test then you have limited options other than a slower burn or alt cd [16:04] it said both ikonia [16:04] lukasz: no it didn't say both [16:04] lukasz: that is either a directory - or a file, which is [16:04] No SUCH FILE OR DIRECTORY [16:04] lukasz: dn't use caps [16:04] lukasz: you've said that [16:04] sry ikonia [16:04] ok [16:04] Does anyone know of a repo for the map editor gtkradiant or q3radiant?

[16:10] Should I reinstall it ikonia ? [16:10] praet, does virtualBox run win32 too?

[16:14] thx [16:14] I renamed the file and ./nqauake worked [16:14] xand_: odd that it remounts with all options unchecked... even after you tell it to eject [16:14] genii: 07/09/1999-SiS-620-P6SET-MLC-00 [16:14] from ezquake-gl.gx to nquake [16:14] genii: and [16:14] :) [16:14] genii: P6SET_ML Ver 1.2 07/29/1999 [16:14] lukasz: you could have just done ./ezquake-gl.gx [16:15] didn't work [16:15] Djerkaf: OK the second one looks more useful [16:15] Pici that didn't work for me [16:15] is it possible to make specific mount points appear in the Places menu? I've changed my Windows mount point to /mnt/Windows so that it doesn't appear on the desktop rather than using gconf-editor to modify the volumes visible setting because I still want usb sticks to appear when plugged in, I can navigate to /mnt/Windows using nautilus, but it doesn't appear in the dropdown Places menu [16:16] dgjones: excellent question [16:16] genii: I spent the other day googling for new bios, but could not find anything from 2000 [16:16] dgjones: Open a nautilus window and modify your 'bookmarks', those should show up in the places menu. [16:16] Jack_Sparrow: i know! should it be my eject syntax? i use 'sudo eject /dev/sdc' and sometimes allow verbose with -v [16:16] genii: but again, I don't know what's important. [16:16] Pici, thanks, I'll give that a go [16:16] ikonia i dont really get what the url says :\ its to professional for me [16:17] xand_: I would think you would be umounting it [16:17] genii: Now when I am at the partitioning part of the installation, I could choose which hard drive to install it on, but on the next screen it does not say, and I can not continue. [16:17] Jack_Sparrow: if i only umount, the device says that 'some data may be lost...bla..bla..' [16:17] xand_: I am not your best source for that.. just a thought [16:18] can someone tell me, how to configure thunderbird that the printout show not the GMT Time ? [16:18] Hi, how come my speakers do not work when I plug them in the back of my computer but they work when I plug them in the front? [16:18] Jack_Sparrow: alright, thanks for helping anyways [16:18] xand_: Does eject write any pending date then umount... === zoom is now known as zoom_ [16:18] data [16:18] Djerkaf: I am also not finding out much about this ECS motherboard regarding linux.

[16:20] genii: ok, I will see you! [16:20] Jack_Sparrow: unlike umount [16:20] Tetracomm remove the lines from /boot/grub/menu.lst [16:20] th0r: What would the cli string with both commands to first eject && umount sdc be? [16:20] Tetracomm if windows is still on the computer then commenting th elines would be a better option [16:21] th0r: I'm not sure which lines aren't safe to remove. [16:21] is it appropriate to say that Linux is to Ubuntu what ntoskrnl.exe is to Windows XP? [16:21] Jack_Sparrow: eject /dev/$file && umount /mount/point [16:21] Windows is no longer on it. [16:21] XiXaQ no [16:21] XiXaQ nothing like that [16:21] ikonia, why? [16:21] ikonia: thanks [16:21] XiXaQ because it's wrong [16:21] th0r: How do I comment the lines? [16:21] xand_: Did you see that from ikonia [16:21] Jack_Sparrow: you may have to eject the mount point rather than the file [16:21] ikonia, what does linux do that ntoskrnl.exe doesn't, and vice versa? [16:22] XiXaQ: they are two different things, and that's not what you said [16:22] Jack_Sparrow: will test === zoom_ is now known as zoom [16:22] XiXaQ: they manage OS's in different ways [16:22] Jack_Sparrow assuming the first partition..../eject /dev/sdc1 and umount /dev/sdc1 (with umount you could also use the mountpoint like umount /media/USBDRIVE [16:22] HI, HOW COME WHEN I PLUG IN MY SPEAKERS IN THE BACK OF MY COMPUTER THEY DONT WORK YET WHEN I PLUG THEM IN THE FRONT THEY WORK?

[16:24] Jack_Sparrow: won't do, umount says its not mounted, guess eject already does that [16:24] alright that problem is solved no more problems :) [16:24] Is it safe to delete those bottom Windows lines you said to comment out? [16:24] th0r [16:24] xand_: if'ts a cdrom drive it will [16:25] xand_: as there is no "volume" in the device to be mounted [16:25] ikonia: oh you mean eject -s?

[16:27] ikonia: its the mass storage device of my cellphone [16:27] xand_: once you eject it and the cd is removed there is no "volume" in the drive to remove [16:27] remount [16:27] th0r: Yes.

[17:41] ii have a directory with a lot of files [17:41] genii: After about one minute (with oldboot), there came an error message on top of the blue screen saying "Input/output error during write on /dev/sda ERROR!!! [17:41] Djerkaf: When you do alt-f4 after the blue screen freeze do you see any text on the screen? It may be helpful. Also if keyboard unresonsive, are all 3 capslock scrolllock and numlock keys flashing?

[17:42] that is a stupid way to do that but for a one timer, it will do [17:42] Djerkaf:Since the system returned with an error msg I know the 3 lights are not blinking [17:42] punchsideiron no, look http://pastebin.com/ma7ad1e8 [17:43] genii: That is correct, no lights are blinking. [17:43] bruenig maybe it installed to the wrong directory? [17:43] genii: when I push alt+F4 it goes black and I see some log [17:43] hi [17:43] CheeseGardener, it installs wherever you tell it to install, you told it to install in /usr/local/ [17:43] Djerkaf: Good, that is what is supposed to happen. The last line or 2 what says it? [17:43] ok, odd, I haven´t had this thing on for a day and it says something is wrong with my gnome-settings-daemon.... [17:43] bruenig is that where pidgin plugins go? [17:44] genii: "Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block " and a number. It says so repeatedly. [17:44] My install will only display at 1280x768. I have ran dpkg-reconfigure and installed the appropriate monitor driver (LG226WQ (analog)). When I change resolution it go dark. can someon please help me [17:44] Djerkaf: Sounds like bad hd [17:44] JamoSmith: horiz and vert settings?

[17:44] Djerkaf: OK [17:44] does anyone know a program that will let me play songs on the network like the built in feature in itunes? [17:45] CheeseGardener, I don't know, might want to find that out though [17:45] Djerkaf: In your bios also make sure it is set to autodetect all hd [17:45] bruenig, it works!!! [17:45] perfect!!! [17:45] pike_: I don't know what they should be [17:45] thakyou very much [17:45] tomd123, well I don't know what the feature in itunes is, but there is a way to play songs on a network with things like "mpd" [17:45] Unable to start the Gnome settings manager ¨gnome-settings-daemon" [17:45] bruenig where can I find out? [17:46] CheeseGardener, ask other people, google, etc. [17:46] !itunes | tomd123 [17:46] tomd123: itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee [17:46] ubotu, thankyou, pici, thank you too ;P [17:46] everything works except my windows colours and fonts are default... ?? lol [17:47] genii: That is confirmed. ;D Now let's see what happens... [17:47] does anyone know the pidgin plugin directory? [17:47] pike_: this is enforced by the .INF I got off the install disc? [17:47] Is there any easy way that I can get different backgrounds on each of my panels? [17:48] Unable to start the settings manager 'gnome-settings-daemon'. [17:48] Without the GNOME settings manager running, some preferences may not take effect. This could indicate a problem with Bonobo, or a non-GNOME (e.g. KDE) settings manager may already be active and conflicting with the GNOME settings manager.

[18:07] dangerous in what way? if you do it properly there is no harm done [18:07] just wana install suse linux ? [18:07] Pici: from the website http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version ? [18:08] BulBulRed, I've experienced first-hand. When i had a dual-boot, and removed windows to try a "pure" ubuntu, i couldn't install Windows so easily anymore. [18:08] tifine: This is the Ubuntu support channel, perhaps you should be asking in #opensuse. [18:08] i got thi message when in trying to turn on the dma : HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Operation not permitted [18:08] BulBulRed, That is a problem amongst the problems [18:08] somebody can helpme? [18:08] Pici: but it releated to the pc not with the ubuntu or opensuse ? [18:09] thedoor: did you use sudo? [18:09] when you install ubuntu and windows [18:09] and you format the windows partition [18:09] hasn't anyone ever seen a flash movie in opera in ubuntu? [18:09] tifine: This channel is only for Ubuntu support. Not general PC support, not Opensuse support. [18:09] Duke_Fluke, yeah, im use the sudo =/ [18:09] you still keep that partition, you can just as easy reinstall windows on that [18:09] LjL, will the gpg key change, if you change country mirror? [18:09] do someone know free alternative to html2image? [18:09] mwe: no [18:09] thanks [18:09] Do you use nicotine? The ports I have to unclock (2234,2239) are tcp or udp? [18:10] BulBulRed, So if i remove Windows from it, but still keep the partition, i can install it again? So i will have no issues with reinstalling? [18:10] Well, if you're going to dual boot, I've found it's easier to install windows and then ubuntu, as grub will get set up for you automatically [18:10] thedoor: are you using the "hdparm -d" command? [18:10] just get all your partitions set with gparted first [18:10] lol yeah....wow...it´s fixed...just had to add it to sessions...don´t understand why it disappeared in the first place lol [18:10] like Hammy says [18:10] Duke_Fluke, yeah sudo hdparm -d /dev/hda [18:10] Duke_Fluke, yeah sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/hda [18:10] thedoor, like "hdparm -d /dev/hdc" [18:10] thank you pike_ :) [18:10] thedoor, :) ok hmm [18:10] Hammy, I'd like a /home partition, because it makes it easier to backup, and if Ubuntu breaks my files don't get lost. [18:11] Arelis: If you plan on dual booting you might consider making a backup of the current mbr.. [18:11] i'm on windos right now , but after my examens i'm formatting my hard disks and just going to keep UBUNTU [18:11] you can set up the home partition easier during the install than to change it later [18:11] i'm a changed man [18:11] :p [18:11] Jack_Sparrow, I have no problem with using GRUB to boot into Windows when only windows is installed [18:11] Hammy; so you're saying put windows on a front partition and then linux on the back half? I mean... from a visual stand point [18:11] thedoor, so you want to enable dma on your hard drive? [18:11] hmm, I cannot 'mount' a usb disk for some reason. Any idea's ? [18:11] is there any scanner for mysl [18:12] Well, it doesn't really matter, the thing is, if ubuntu sees that windows is already installed when you do the ubuntu installation, it'll configure grub for you so windows is in there already, which makes it a little easier [18:12] Arelis: If you remove ubuntu it will remove /boot/grub/menu.lst and you will have a problem getting into windows. [18:12] then, what I did was went back and made windows the default boot option in grub [18:12] Duke_Fluke, yeah =/ [18:12] genii: It's stuck at the blue screen again I think. Will check 4th [18:12] Duke_Fluke, he's too slow whitout dma =/ [18:12] Djerkaf: OK [18:12] hey guys, which is the french site?* [18:12] Hammy, ah i see ok. yeah that makes sense. [18:13] well, that is until I had some computer issues and now I'm stuck using ubuntu full time since I can't install windows anymore [18:13] Jack_Sparrow, Then i'll just boot into the liveCD and restore GRUB, and edit the menu.lst. [18:13] genii: Can't check 4th. [18:13] Arelis: You would need to reinstall ubuntu or fdisk /mbr or fixmbr from dos/windows cd [18:13] genii: Nothing happens when I press ALT+f4 [18:13] So, could someone give me a hand here, I want to get separate backgrounds on each of my desktop panels, but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do it [18:13] Djerkaf: You used the acpi=oldboot on this occasion or another option>? [18:13] Arelis: I was not following along.. I just logged in.. SO not sure what all you are doing. [18:14] genii: acpi=oldboot , yes. [18:14] Jack_Sparrow, If that happens, i'll search the 'net and the wiki and surely find the solution. Also, reinstalling Ubuntu doesn't cause that, right? [18:14] hmm, I cannot 'mount' a usb disk for some reason. Any idea's ? [18:14] Does anyoen know of a site with info about "disaster recovery" stuff? if i install ubuntu and dual boot w/ a lite windows install for games only, and ubuntu gets hosed, i want to learn how to fix it w/o a reinstall if at all possible [18:14] Jack_Sparrow, I'm discussing about installing Ubuntu, but i want to do it in a way not harmful to my Windows install. I could use my USB stick for that, but then i can't use PortableApps [18:15] Arelis: If you remove ubuntu, add second partiton for /home then reinstall you should have no problems [18:15] Djerkaf: The lack of documentation on your motherboard is frustrating. ECS has nothing on it on their support anymore [18:15] thedoor: can you run "lspci -v | grep IDE" and tell me what it says [18:15] Jack_Sparrow, I've had many people say to me that Dual-booting is dangerous. Also, i need both Windows and Linux. Windows for some special tasks, and Linux because i feel comfortable with that. [18:16] genii: I know, it's irritating. The only info page I have found is www.motherboard.cz/mb/ecs/P6SET-ML.htm but I doubt it contains the info you would need to solve the problem? [18:16] no one's gonna help me with this then? I know it's not a big issue, but I'd like to tweak my panels a little [18:16] hey, I just installed vmware server on ubuntu 7.04. But when I try to start it, nothing shows up, not even errors. [18:16] Hammy, #ubuntu-offtopic [18:16] genii: (beware of adult advertising on that link) [18:16] I have a burning question that seems like it would have a simple answer: How does one know, from error messages, the name of the package that needs to be installed? For example, the error I am receiving is "No package 'gnome-python-2.0' found." Yet there is no package called "gone-python-2.0". Can anyone help me to understand this? [18:16] Arelis: I dont know who said dual booting is dangerous. I have done it for years with no problem.. My golden rule is neither os writes to the partition of the other os [18:17] Arelis: You can add a shared partition or use a usb for that... === miip_ is now known as miip [18:17] Djerkaf: So you have 1 hd and 1 cdrom on the system , the hd is master on first channel...cd rom..it is master on second channel I hope. If this is the setup, then in the bios make slave for primarhy and slave for secondary "None" [18:17] genii: and I'm not 100% sure that's the exact same model as the one I have. But that's what I've found by jumping between forums. [18:18] Jack_Sparrow, I don't know what a shared partition is. Please explain. And, if i could use my usb for that, it would be great.. but will i still be able to use it's storage? === Pravee1 is now known as Praveen [18:18] Howdy all [18:18] Djerkaf: Since trying with the plug and play turned off is not being helpful, turn it on as well in the bios [18:19] is there a backport repo of newer kernels? [18:19] Arelis: I have a partition for windows, a partition for ubuntu, a partition for /home and a spare ext3 and a spare fat32 the spares are accessible to both windows and ubuntu [18:19] Jack_Sparrow, On your usb stick? [18:19] Arelis: on my hard drive [18:19] I want to encode 1 h264 video from 2 wmv source files. I know how to encode, but how can I join 2 source files into 1 ? (using ffmpeg) [18:20] Jack_Sparrow, That's pretty clever. How do i do that? [18:20] hey, when I try to run vmware on ubuntu7.04 nothing happens at all [18:20] Arelis: I use fat32 on my usb's [18:20] When a new version of ubuntu comes out, how do you upgrade to that version? [18:20] I have a Dell 1521 Inspiron, and I can't get the wifi to work. I have installed the broadcom firmware, modprobe bcm43xx, and iwconfig, but I get the error "no wireless extensions" [18:20] How do i add a bitrate stamp to some of my music? They have none and I think its stopping slimserver from playing them.. Help? [18:20] genii: Done. Both slaves = none , PNP on [18:20] Arelis: There is a limit of 4 primary partitions on a drive so you will need to create an extended partition and plae logical partitions on it. [18:20] place or create [18:21] Jack_Sparrow, Fine with me. I only have 80GB of space, though/. [18:21] shaft0r: Ubuntu asked me if I wanted to upgrade my newly installed 7.04 to 7.1. I said yes, and it all just happened. took abt 2 hrs. [18:21] hmm, I cannot 'mount' a usb disk for some reason. "Unable to mount media - There is probably no media in the drive" I just need to get one zip off this drive. [18:22] does ubuntu need something special to read VFAT? [18:22] Arelis: With 80 gig I would still need to create an extended as I didnt include the swap partition in what I told you [18:22] ericfoy, oh sweet thanks a bunch. [18:22] Jeruvy: no it doesn't [18:22] Rug: so whats with this error? [18:22] Arelis: so 4 partitions just under 20 and one swap around 2 - 4 gig [18:22] Jack_Sparrow, I have a laptop I can use to communicate with you. Would you be willing to guide me through the process? [18:22] Jeruvy: unplug & replug the usbkey. type dmesg |tail [18:23] Is it possible to setup a user account to login to a different network? [18:23] Jeruvy: and tell me what it says === Pravee1 is now known as Praveen [18:23] Are there any draw backs to 64bit ubuntu? [18:23] Can someone help me understand apt-get better? I don't understand how to figure out which package needs to be installed. For example, the error I'm currently getting is "No package 'gnome-python-2.0' found," yet there is no package by the name as far as I can tell. [18:23] shaft0r, yes [18:23] shaft0r: yupp [18:23] should i just got 32? [18:23] go* [18:23] shaft0r: do you have >4Gb of Ram? [18:23] Arelis: It isnt hard and anyone here should be able to walk you through it.. I dont have the time and would not want to drop you in the middle of something so important [18:23] no, not on my desktop. [18:23] Rug: did, same error. "VFS: busy inodes on changed media" from dmesg. [18:23] shaft0r, I would, unless you have a strong need for 64 [18:24] sethk, nah, was just curious. [18:24] hi all: can anyone tell me how to make my hpt370 RAID (Abit KR7A-RAID mobo) work in gutsy? I don't want to boot from it, just use it in RAID-1 mode for data. [18:24] sethk, i know w/ windows there are serious drawbacks. ie: drivers, apps, etc. [18:24] Jeruvy: odd [18:24] Jack_Sparrow, Alright. Is no problem. Although i think my logging function wasn't on.. Can you pastebin parts of the conversation, so i can try it myself? (The information about the partitions, and so on..) [18:24] can someone help me troubleshoot my new monitor, it's stuck in kid's toy mode (800x600) - I've tried following the steps in FixVideoResolution @ help.ubuntu.com and I think I need some more personal assistance. It's a LG226TQ (widescreen) and I'm trying to get it to display in 1680x1050 [18:24] shaft0r, similar issues with linux [18:24] Rug: I thought so too [18:25] Arelis: I like using the gparted livecd to setup the partitions rather than gparted on the ubuntu livecd [18:25] !gparted [18:25] GParted is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/ [18:25] sethk; thanks [18:25] Rug: seems to read it, since it can keep the drive busy for several minutes. But cannot access the files. [18:25] Jack_Sparrow, I've tried that but that liveCD fails on my computer. It loads, then has a weird screen, then halts. [18:26] Jack_Sparrow, But that's not the problem we want to solve.... [18:26] Arelis: Get a version at least 4 revisions back from the current... [18:26] Come on, I know there are some people who can answer a basic question about repositories, won't anyone respond? How do I know, based on an error message, which package I need to install? [18:26] Arelis: Let me see the # of the one I use most [18:26] Jeruvy: it seems odd that it isn't assigning a /dev/sd?? to the device [18:26] genii: It's stuck again. [18:27] Arelis, I've had that problem with the gparted livecd, its not just you, i used an ubuntu livecd ran gparted from that and created the necessary partitions, then did the install specifying the partitions to use and mount [18:27] Arelis: 0.2.5-1 is the one I use most [18:27] ThipThip: I've always just had to google the stuff and investigate... [18:27] ThipThip, what are you trying to install? [18:27] (My 'make menuconfig' is running.) Synaptic writes: "The documentation for the 'make' package does not meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines, and has been removed from this package." Can you recommend a user guide for 'make' that includes the parameter 'menuconfig'? 'apropos menuconfig' does not produce an output. [18:27] dgjones, Alright :). Yeah, why use that liveCD when i can just use the Ubuntu livecd :) [18:28] !vm [18:28] There are several solutions for running other operating systems (or their programs) inside Ubuntu, while using the native CPU as much as possible: !QEmu (with !KQemu), !VirtualBox, !VMWare, as well as !WINE and !Cedega for Windows applications [18:28] How do I make compiz start upon login? [18:28] Rug: it should auto-mount the device, or so I've been told [18:28] !virtualbox [18:28] virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox [18:28] How do I go about updating Wine from 9.46 to 9.53? Is there some way to do it without having to download it then install it with terminal? (I'm kinda an idiot, can never get the command right in terminal) [18:28] Djerkaf: Well I'm pretty close to out of ideas then. I'm suspecting either a few bad hd, or possibly ide controller is screwy perhaps. Although you may still want to try with experimenting on the different options like noacpi etc etc as listed on the page I supplied [18:28] If I have MOVIE.ISO and MOVIE.MDS and change the names to FILM.ISO and FILM.MDS will that cause any problems? Like MDS somehow loosing track of the ISO? [18:28] Jeruvy: yes it should, but to troubleshoot it, we need to depend on ourselves no the automounter. [18:29] Djerkaf: If you have an ide controller which is on a separate card you could disable onboard and try that [18:29] Jeruvy: after you plug it in, type lslsb [18:29] genii: Nope, the disk is connected directly on the motherboard. [18:29] !vmware [18:29] VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers [18:29] chimp, did you install Emerald Theme Manager? [18:29] ericfoy and mattgyver: Really? Google and investigate? I'm surprised that there is no easier way to correlate an error message to a needed package. In this case, the error message I'm getting is "No package 'gnome-python-2.0' found." Upon receiving similar messages, I have always googled and found satisfactory results, but this time I cannot figure it out. [18:30] ThipThip, you can always search synaptic, or aptitude search via command line [18:30] No mattgyver, i'm running from an upgrade from 7.04, and at the minute to start it i always need to do compiz --replace [18:30] Which needless to say is a pain [18:30] Chimp, heres what i did [18:30] mattgyver: I tried info apt-get and I couldn't figure out how to perform a search. How do I do it? [18:31] I have a Dell 1521 Inspiron, and I can't get the wifi to work. I have installed the broadcom firmware, modprobe bcm43xx, and iwconfig, but I get the error "no wireless extensions" [18:31] sudo aptitude search packagename [18:31] genii: I will try experimenting a little, but now it has become kind of boring rebooting and waiting. I just thought it would be nice to be able to use the old scrap for something useful. :) [18:31] Based on that, I would look for a package called 'gnome-python' or something. seriously... I'm a newb at linux, so... [18:31] Chimp, Install Emerald Theme Manager. Then add that to your sessions list; beryl-manager [18:31] hi, i got a quick question. its my first day on linux :D and i cant find the answer. probably to easy. whats the program called wich i use to browse files in ubuntu (want to open it from terminal, dont kno the cmd) [18:31] Rug: one sec I'm rebooting [18:31] Rug: have you tried ndiswrapper? thats what finally got it to work for me (Inspiron 1420) [18:32] ole_: nautilus [18:32] thx alot [18:32] bolstaslkdjfa: I'll give it a try [18:32] Arelis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/52031/ read that and see if it makes sense [18:32] ole_: nautilus& if you want to release the terminal [18:32] Chimp, you might have to actually select Compiz as the window manager you want when you load ETM. [18:32] Is emerald theme manager a good package to have isntalled anyway matt? [18:32] but its easy [18:32] eah [18:32] yeah [18:32] Djerkaf: You might try telling it the speed of the ide... the slowest speed would be 33 for instance on very ancient ones, then 66 then 100 then 133 eg: idebus=33 or so [18:32] Especially if you begin to have problems, it lets you select a different manager, like ubuntus default metacity [18:33] hi all: can anyone tell me how to make my hpt370 RAID (Abit KR7A-RAID mobo) work in gutsy? I don't want to boot from it, just use it in RAID-1 mode for data. [18:33] ok, I searched for python and got a boatload of results. [18:33] so i installed banshee but how do i go about listening to music through daap? [18:33] !ndiswrapper [18:33] I don't see any list of computers i can listen to [18:33] Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs [18:33] genii: I will try that too. Thank you for your help! I will stay here for a while in case something useful would pop up in your head! :D [18:33] Jack_Sparrow, That made sense to me. Thank you! :). [18:33] np [18:33] ThipThip, thats pretty much what you do. [18:33] ThipThip, in my experience its never as easy as it should be.. [18:34] rug: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper [18:34] When I'm on openbox, after a random amount of time (usually a few hours), I can't connect with my wireless network anymore [18:34] p emerald - Decorator for compiz-fusion < is this the right one matt? [18:34] how do check system temperature in ubuntu> [18:34] chip, yes [18:35] Djerkaf: If you have also the slaves now set to off in bios use perhaps hdb=none hdd=none to prevent probing for them by linux [18:35] is there an "and" operator for this search function? Info doesn't seem to indicate one. [18:35] powerj1: most people search synaptic for an applet to add to gnome-panel there are some temp ones [18:35] Anyone using RAID..?: can anyone tell me how to make my hpt370 RAID (Abit KR7A-RAID mobo) work in gutsy? I don't want to boot from it, just use it in RAID-1 mode for data. [18:35] Jack_Sparrow, I store large files on my harddrive, though. What sizes would i need for that? [18:35] is there a irc channel for gnome or something I could try asking in instead? [18:35] bolstaslkdjfa: thanks [18:35] powerjl, at command line, cat /proc/acpi/thermal_zone/THRM/temperature [18:35] Arelis: Do you mean what partition type for that? [18:35] Arelis: Which system will access them the most. ubuntu or windows [18:36] powerjl, thats how ive always done it. [18:36] Jack_Sparrow, Yes. and size. I think Ubuntu will access those files the most. [18:36] Arelis: Then I would make the spare ext3 and not fat32 [18:36] (My 'make menuconfig' is running.) Synaptic writes: "The documentation for the 'make' package does not meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines, and has been removed from this package." Can you recommend a user guide for 'make' that includes the parameter 'menuconfig'? 'apropos menuconfig' does not produce an output. [18:36] powerj1: install sensors [18:37] !sensors | powerj1 [18:37] powerj1: You might find something useful at: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SensorInstallHowto [18:37] are there c++ programmings? [18:37] mattgyver: I seem to have the all the packages resembling "gnome-python" installed. I've also searched the forums with no success. Do you happen to know what "No package 'gnome-python-2.0' found" requires me to do? Or do you have another suggestion for where I might look? [18:37] genii: I will try that too, thanks [18:37] bullgard4: 'menuconfig' is just a defined target for the makefile you are running against, it is not something you are going to find in a make manual. [18:37] Ok matt how do i setup this emerald thing to use compiz? [18:37] lemontea: ##c++ [18:38] pici ??? === GazzaK is now known as Gary [18:38] I store movies and music. But i install lots of games too (on Windows). Actually, i want to use Ubuntu for multimedia and most daily task, while i want to use Windows for things like games and artistic hobbies. I am not very experienced with partitioning, so what scheme would fit with that? [18:38] err [18:38] that was a question to Jack_Sparrow [18:38] lemontea: What are you asking then? [18:38] pici is that command??? [18:38] lemontea: Thats an irc channel. [18:38] how do you install Java Runtime Environment? [18:38] pici where to get c++ programs [18:38] Arelis: Files over 4 gig cant go on fat32 === sdgisr is now known as Delicon [18:38] Arelis: Choices are ntfs or ext3 [18:38] dadster: look up JRE in sinaptic.. [18:39] thanks [18:39] ThipThip, not too sure. [18:39] bicky: do you use DHCP ? I have a similar problem. I thought it was due to the renewal timeout of my DHCP (135 seconds). I can not reconnect after 15 hours , or a working day running.. [18:39] Arelis: There are other choices people..please no flames about reiser [18:39] dadster: Np.. ;) [18:39] Jack_Sparrow, Yes but also a partitioning scheme. Would those spares really fit that tasks? [18:39] Hi, I am having problem with evolution filtering messages. It looks like it does not filter any messages. using default evolution package from the repository for 7.10. Am I alone? [18:39] Jack_Sparrow, Also, i only have 768MB ram [18:39] Anyone know anything about the bluez package? [18:40] Hello - Can anyone suggest a good magazine for Linux users? Or Ubuntu users? I have read PC World, PC Magazine, and MacWorld in the past, but am looking for suggestions for something that's dedicated to Linux (and that isn't too darned complicated that it goes over my head - general interest magazine). Thanks! [18:40] Arelis: That is fine for ram... 80 gigs is not that much if you have tone of huge files.. adjust those sizes to suit your needs.. That is NOT something I can decide for you.. I do need to go [18:40] ok, I got a questio now.. I've just recently upgraded my PC to 64 bit.. I have installed Ubuntu before but, was not able to get flash to work.. I've installed windowz on another HDD and flash works fine.. is there something I have to do to get flash to work with the 64 biut Ubuntu? [18:40] Jack_Sparrow, ALright. Bye, and thanks for the help :) [18:41] does I need to set up some alternate sources.list, or is there a -dev package for Tcl and Tk? [18:41] CaBlGuY: there is no adboe flash for 64bit linux. just doesn't exist [18:41] do* [18:41] Pici: I know now that 'menuconfig' is just a defined target for the makefile that I am running. (I would call it a 'parameter'.) Why can one not find a description of 'menuconfig'? Example: 'man ls' includes a description of the '-a' parameter yet. [18:41] norv: there is [18:41] !flash64 > CaBlGuY (CaBlGuY, see the private message from Ubotu) [18:41] can anyone tell me the meaning of this: [18:41] erawfish: then why am I able to get it to work in Windowz?? [18:41] hello [18:41] Overwriting packaged files and adding unmanaged files by running sudo make install may break upgrades. A better way is to create a backport by using the build scripts from your current alsa source packages. [18:41] erawfish: apt-cache search found nothing like tcl-dev [18:41] bullgard4: cause it doesn't exist and every point in menuconfig has a "help" button duh! [18:42] I'd like to know how long can I hope to work on a 17" laptop ? [18:42] Hello - Can anyone suggest a good magazine for Linux users? Or Ubuntu users?

Thanks! [18:42] john47: there are dell computers with ubuntu preinstalled also system76 computers ...ive had good luck with asus and toshiba. just remember you want intel or nvidia for graphics and stay away from broadcom wifi [18:42] ThipThip: I've looked, and my pkg manager has no 'gnome-python2', but it does have a 'python-gnome2' package. who knows...? did you try that yet? [18:42] * CaBlGuY reads.. [18:42] CaBlGuY: try installing a 32bit swiftfow and then install flash on it. I have eared about that, nerver tester [18:42] erawfish: oh, had to split it up with grep.. found it [18:42] wild_oscar: it means you should never mess with anything outside of your /home directory unless you know what you're doing extremely well. rather, you should install software using the package manager [18:42] pike_: Sorry was that message meant for someone else? [18:42] john47: oh magazine.. most of em are online [18:42] CaBlGu: *swiftfox [18:42] erawfish: Tell me what "duh!" means, please.

I don't want to boot from it, just use it in RAID-1 mode for data. [18:43] pike_: Any mag you like in particular? [18:43] genii: I just found at a forum: "The problem is not that the computer is too old. It is that it's acpi support is too old." [18:43] why tile can't come preinstalled in Tk I don't know why. perhaps to make ActiveTcl "worth it" [18:43] ericfoy: afaik there is no hpt370 driver. and it's only fakeraid anyways [18:43] john47: nah mostly slashdot etc. but see http://www.linux.org/docs/reference.html [18:43] ericfoy: python-gnome2-dev did the trick! Thanks! [18:43] genii: Wouldn't updating the acpi driver help then? [18:43] wild_oscar, sounds like its warning you that it may not update correctly based on what your doing. [18:43] ThipThip: glad I could help! [18:44] pike_: Awesome link, thanks! [18:44] hi guys. what's available for gnome that is simmilar to superkaramba?

Welcome! [18:55] Does anyone have Flash in Opera? [18:55] Pici, where could I ask my question? [18:55] what file do I change for my $PATH [18:55] So the new question is, how do I get Ubuntu to recognize the drives plugged into my hpt370 holes? [18:56] hi [18:56] Goodgame: I dont even understand your question, perhaps ##hardware? [18:56] Goodgame: #hardware for example. and your question can't be answered [18:56] jac0b-work, ~/.bashrc [18:56] how can i recourd soundoutput in ubuntu? [18:56] I tried .bashrc [18:56] jac0b-work, you must close terminal and reopen it. [18:56] but when I did echo $PATH it didn't show my new PATH [18:56] jac0b-work: grep PATH ~./.* [18:56] jac0b-work: echo export PATH=$PATH >> ~/.bashrc then add whatever extra dir yoiu want [18:57] did that also [18:57] jac0b-work: you need to relog after you change your .bashrc. [18:57] what to do when ubuntu is stuck on configuring apt, something about mirror (82%) [18:57] does it not use the global proxy? [18:57] hi 2 all [18:57] so restart after I edit bashrc [18:57] genii: acpi=off noapic nolapic => Blue screen, no alt+f4 available =/ [18:57] bassinboyw1, is this on a pc that's connected to a network that isn't connected to the internet? [18:57] who know with webmin to create partitions to work in software raid? [18:57] Daniloc: We dont support webmin here, sorry. [18:58] ubunta sucks , MICROSOFT rules [18:58] ok Pici [18:58] XiXaQ: yes, and i set a global proxy [18:58] Auser: do you have a ubuntu related question? [18:58] bassinboyw1, disconnect your network cable. [18:58] XiXaQ: did that, it worked, but i'm wondering why not just use my proxy? [18:58] Auser, HAH HAH HAH HAAAAHHH HAH HAH. That's a good one!!!!!! [18:58] were can i get it on cd [18:58] what about the /etc/enviroment file [18:58] bassinboyw1, I don't know. I've reported a bug on it. [18:58] !shipit | Auser [18:58] Auser: shipit is a service that sends free Ubuntu, Kubuntu and Edubuntu CDs. See http://shipit.ubuntu.com/ and http://shipit.kubuntu.org and http://shipit.edubuntu.org - Shipit will send Gutsy (7.10) CDs [18:59] XiXaQ: thank you [18:59] this is a free OS, right [18:59] jac0b-work: not what you think it is. you were told were to change it. your choice if you don't want to [18:59] !foss | Auser [18:59] Auser: freedom is important. Ubuntu is as free as we can make it, which means mostly free software. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/licensing [18:59] Auser: yes [18:59] yupp, you can also download it and burn it yourself [18:59] real quick question, is there a grep equivilent for /list in irc? === Twofish is now known as Blowfish [18:59] thanks [18:59] Auser: you can order a CD for free but it'll take some time === Blowfish is now known as G0D [18:59] crabgrass, /quote help list [18:59] crabgrass: no. it's also client dependent [19:00] Auser: or download it at www.ubuntu.com [19:00] crabgrass: i just save list as a text file then grep it :) [19:00] erawfish, that's not true. Most networks have filters for list [19:00] crabgrass: On freenode (this network), /list can take wildcards [19:00] Duke_Fluke: lol, good idea [19:00] does anyone use checkinstall here [19:00] XiXaQ: you are still OT [19:00] Auser: its best to have a friend burn it for ya === G0D is now known as Valkyrie [19:00] XiXaQ: and rfc1459 doesn't have such a thing. HAND [19:00] Pici: thanks [19:01] hi there [19:01] Djerkaf: Perhaps: acpi=off pci=routeirq [19:01] Sorry, but I prefer Microsoft's quality [19:01] is it possible to resize a ntfs partition when installing gutsy? [19:01] erawfish, this network isn't strict rfc1459. Besides, there are newer protocols. But you're right. We're OT. [19:01] Duke_Fluke: man, that's not a bad idea. do you know if pidgin accepts commands like irc:crabgrass:/list from the commandline? [19:01] Qaldune: yes [19:01] Duke_Fluke: 'cause I just got an idea for a really handy plugin :D [19:02] Auser, then use Windows. Noones forcing you to use ubuntu. [19:02] erawfish: is there something needed to do so besides defragmenting? [19:02] hey guys... running firefox and flash is all jacked up... do i need to do something special other than install the adobe player? [19:02] !flashissues | shaft0r [19:02] shaft0r: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix. [19:02] is it an NT-based, i hope so like my xp! [19:02] Qaldune: no there shouldn't [19:02] genii: routeirq <- Spelling mistake? [19:02] Auser: Seriously, if you were to install Ubuntu and see the kind of support it offers... from automated updates, to all the FREE stuff. It would blow your mind!

I am running Gutsy [19:02] Pici, thank you very much [19:02] !kernel | Auser [19:02] Auser: The core of the Ubuntu Operating System is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, but if you're convinced you do, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile - For more: /msg ubotu stages [19:02] !selinux [19:02] genii: or have I got temporarily stupid(er) ? [19:02] SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [19:03] crabgrass, all clients I know of supports the quote command to send commands directly to the servecr. [19:03] thx erawfish [19:03] madrazr: what sort of server [19:03] XiXaQ: ooo, sounds like fun. imma look into this, brb [19:03] Djerkaf: pci=routeirq is correct [19:03] heya [19:03] selinux is different to ubunta, it is not for public release [19:03] Pici, does this only affect new installs or something? or no one on ubuntu has working flash right now?

[19:04] madrazr: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+) [19:04] DRebellion: point is that I dont have domain name registered [19:04] Hello, where or how can I install DBI perl module 1.60 in ubuntu 6.06 [19:04] shaft0r: Other than the fix, we reccomend that you wait for a real fix. We can't stop you from doing what you want though. [19:04] Djerkaf: These two together should turn off acpi again, then use irq routing tables from the bios and not try to guess what belongs to what irq [19:04] madrazr, hehe, sudo tasksel install lamp :) [19:04] madrazr: use a dynamic dns service [19:04] madrazr: i use dyndns.com [19:04] XiXaQ: Thats done [19:04] madrazr, www.dyndns.org [19:05] madrazr: XiXaQ: or .org rather :P [19:05] à tous [19:05] Djerkaf: The hd controller should be normally at irq 14 and irg 15 [19:05] shaft0r: there is no telling when the fix will be pushed through this has been an issue for while. if you want flash id recommend dropping it in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/ yourself [19:05] err [19:05] !fr | bemous [19:05] bemous: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.

Explaining how to script an irc client is not suited for this channel. They probably have a channel here though.

It may have used your internal ip. In that case, use=web in the config file instead of use=if [19:17] I've been looking at the various hardware compatibility lists and I'm not finding a whole lot of description about what serial ATA cards are supported.

[19:19] XiXaQ: yes [19:19] and its a unique feature as i came to know while installation i was discovering linux [19:19] madraz1, what does that host point to now?

[20:10] humbolto: production server? [20:10] humbolto: what kind of production [20:10] so after I changed the computer to use the drivers from ati.com, (before I used the drivers from the repos) I can't run ANY fullscreen app that wants 3D like: stellarium, celestia, google earth etc. [20:10] edeca: hmm, i dont really get all of it. [20:10] Duke_Fluke: It'd probably be easier to just use a molex connector off the first system. [20:10] unagi: production quality mysql server. [20:11] when I run that kind of app. my computer logs off [20:11] white_eagle: err, and who told you to use the drivers from ati.com? we support what is in the repos.

[20:12] how can I do that [20:12] how do I view what is mounted? [20:12] how good is the default setup and how quickly are security updates available. I heard in the latter matter Ubuntu is the best of choices, but I don't know about the former one. [20:12] LjL: can you generally give me an advice? [20:12] Kuropon: mount [20:12] DRebellion: Alright, my question isn't being read anymore. Now what? Ask again?

[20:13] Kuropon: you want to see some isos you have mounted right ? [20:13] Kuropon: Or cat /proc/mtab [20:14] Kuropon-> you are not clear, what you want?

[20:15] lagann_: nevermind. I forgot what i asked. I thought i be guided further. I have the info i need now :) Thanks. [20:15] Kuropon: that should only be to type mount and hit enter in a terminal [20:15] Kuropon: Then the mount command should help. If not, try 'cat /proc/mounts'. [20:15] I hate ati, I should have bought a laptop with a nvdida chipset [20:15] viktor, does nothing but pop a long list of ruble [20:15] Kuropon-> i think you need to learn how to read the output of mount [20:16] viktor, I was given a cmd once I think it had like dh in it.. very short cmd but 2 words [20:16] Kuropon: df -h ? [20:16] edeca, ty =) [20:16] Kuropon: That shows disk usage, not mounts, but it might help [20:16] when i try to open a directory i get this error "The folder contents could not be displayed" and when I try to open any file the file type changes to 'unknown' I can't do anything without cli, or opening proper program then opening the file [20:16] edeca, ohh >> [20:16] Hey cany one help fix my dell touch pad mouse it is very very slow [20:16] hi there. ran into a little problem. when I try to delete files from partition #2 (ntfs) it disappears from the folders, but the free partition-size stays on 16,7gig and the files don't show in the trash bin. got any hints?

[20:24] XLV: I don't have to modprobe with a speed, they just sync up with the switch [20:24] edeca: yeah i found um. the alsamixer, and it looked like i could alter my mic volume, and i did. but it doesnt seem to amplify my outbound at all (testing with skype) any other ideas? =) [20:24] guys, i'm having a hard time setting up my vpn connection. when i was using a dhcp enabled network i can connect... but when i enabled my shared wep i can't connect using my existing vpn setting. any idea?

[20:26] one more question regarding my ubuntu data dvd disc. it's an iso i'm burning to the dvd, if i add a folder with drivers and such, will that in anyway make it non-bootable and not be able to install ubuntu, or will it be ok?

[20:52] i did everything what i can [20:52] rikkimaru: you are running csh instead of bash? to change the default shell use the chsh command [20:52] Jay-Oh-En: is that a new form of bot abuse? [20:52] rikkimaru: and it is your shell not your "terminal type" ;) [20:52] I keep getting an x server error when trying to install gutsy... I had previously installed edgy with no problems any advice [20:52] MagicFab, cp -a ~/.gnome* ? [20:52] what files under /etc/ do I need to keep in order to migrate passwords from Hoary to Feisty?

[20:53] I'm having some problems getting cvsd to work, I got it all setup, but when I try to login it tells me that it can't find libz.so.1 which I have checked and made sure was pointing to right places in both /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib ... any ideas or similar problems ? [20:53] trist: also /etc/groups proberly is a good idea to backup also. [20:53] hrmm so anyone here using hardy ? [20:53] i cant get voice to work in GYachE [20:53] does /bin/sh open whatever the default shell is (as set by chsh)? [20:53] Assid: --->>> #ubuntu+1 [20:53] Assid: #ubuntu+1 [20:53] !herdy [20:53] Sorry, I don't know anything about herdy - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [20:53] ttpears, ldconfig ? [20:53] !hardy [20:53] hardy is Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE PRE BETA (ALPHA) SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu [20:54] Dr_Willis, I thought so, but I need to know for sure. Thjere's 10 accounts on this box. [20:54] i am trying to install ubunutu on a machine, and he is telling me that the instalatiion cdrom cannot be mounted... and im booting from that cd.... how can i solve this one ? ? [20:54] LjL: ok :] [20:54] is there a way to tell what shell you're currently in? [20:54] echo $SHELL [20:54] white_eagle_, do i know what or not? [20:54] trist: i tend to backup all of /etc/ just in case. :) [20:54] rikkimaru: echo $SHELL [20:54] how do you think I can solve "Configuring Static ip address in Ubuntu server"? [20:54] check CD for defect's or md5sum the iso file [20:54] Duke_Fluke, do you know how to format? [20:55] white_eagle_, yes i do [20:55] white_eagle_: format what ? [20:55] brobostigon : can you recommend me something or not ? [20:55] rikkimaru, readlink /proc/$$/exe [20:55] a memory stick [20:55] Dr_Willis, yeah, I tarred the whole dir. But once Feisty is installed I don't want to guess which files need to be overwritten with old version :) [20:55] white_eagle_: treat it like a hard disk [20:55] white_eagle_: sudo mkfs.WHATEVER /dev/WHATEVER [20:55] fatih: whats the problem, i cant remember?? [20:55] Also i have an issue with linuxdc++. When i am downloading something, it looks like disk is overloading and computer is getting so slow. Is there any recommended settings for dc++? [20:55] Is there a way to enable remote desktop inside the terminal? I'm away using ssh right now and I'd like to quickly enable desktop control. [20:56] thoreauputic, that is not correct way to tell your shell [20:56] honk_: ssh -X user@host [20:56] honk_, -Y [20:56] honk_: you can install/run vnc4server (or other vnc service/server) but that wont get you the CURRENTLY running/seen local desktop.. but a brand new one. [20:56] where should a compiled module that doesnt have install option be place? /lib/modules/kernel/volative doesnt work, module is removed after each reboot [20:56] brobostigon: i have an issue with linuxdc++. When i am downloading something, it looks like disk is overloading and computer is getting so slow. Is there any recommended settings for dc++? [20:56] fatih: thats sounds like its constantly reading of the disk, and uing loads of cpu power. [20:56] XLV_laptopi: volatile is memory [20:57] khermans: oh really ? seems to work [20:57] fatih: dc++ is not package on ubuntu [20:57] honk_: ssh -X or -Y willlet you run X aps and have them show up locally . If X forearding is enabled in the sshd service config files [20:57] fatih: I told you the ubuntu version the other day [20:57] How can I make a laptop boot super fast in ubuntu? [20:57] thoreauputic, type 'sh', do the same thing [20:57] thoreauputic, you see it fails [20:57] Xintruder: only use needed services, blacklist any un-needed kernel modules [20:57] brobostigon:i mean linuxdcpp === julian is now known as julabask [20:57] khermans: ? [20:57] thoreauputic, readlink /proc/$$/exe works [20:57] brobostigon:same problem i have [20:57] * MxReb0 licks his lips [20:57] NOM OM... [20:57] why cant I format it in gparted? [20:57] ok then since "does 64bit version have any problems" is to hard of a question to answer will "does 64bit have alot of problems?" do it for you? [20:57] thoreauputic, type '/bin/dash' and then 'echo $SHELL' [20:58] white_eagle_: you should be able to if it is visable as a deice file [20:58] ikonia, is there some standard dir i should place it? or anywhere inside /lib/modules/2.6.22-14-generic/ is ok? [20:58] thoreauputic, your solution would then be incorrect [20:58] white_eagle_, why don't you ask the gparted software developers? [20:58] thoreauputic: eew dont use dash ;p [20:58] faith: try valknut, it works fine for me [20:58] who was it that helped me yesterday with im wheel or can someone help me tweek the imwheelrc file? [20:58] Jay-Oh-En: "no it doesn't" thats as vauge as your question [20:58] so anyone know for sure if /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow and /etc/group is all that's needed to keep passwords and accounts intact from Hoary -> Feisty? [20:58] fatih: it seems to be using loads resources, disk and cpu,can you reduce the resources it uses somehow?? [20:58] Jay-Oh-En, you mean 64 bit as a concept [20:58] pike_, /bin/sh is symed to /bin/dash dude [20:58] XLV_laptopi: what driver is it [20:58] ikonia: I found it, but the format option can't be clicked [20:58] Jay-Oh-En, as a concept, I think it functions well [20:58] khermans: sadly [20:58] I wound think that 'dash' would identify as 'sh' [20:58] white_eagle_: thats odd [20:58] when i try to sudo from a live ubuntu which i "installed" onto a USB stick, i get this: sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 00, should be 0440 anyone know where this problem originates from?? [20:58] khermans: OK - fair enough - works most of the time but I know sh is linked to dash anyway so... [20:58] ikonia, webcamera dc1135 module [20:58] brobostigon:understood. going to try right now. thanks alot [20:58] trist: if you're in doubt, just make a tarball of your entire /etc. It shouldn't be that big. [20:59] XLV_laptopi: does it not say in the install guide [20:59] sybariten: i thnk livecd is already logged in with root privaleges. correct me if i'm wrong [20:59] sybariten, it originates from the fact that your sudoers file has privileges that are 0000 instead of 0440 [20:59] thoreauputic, no it only 'works' if your $SHELL variable is actually your shell :-) [20:59] sybariten: looks like the permissions are wrong, I'd gues it's a failing in the install to USB process [20:59] fatih: or you have a very lowend machine, not designed to run it?? [20:59] trist: you'll need to make sure that you preserve the permissions if you do need to extract a few files, especially of /etc/shadow [20:59] does ubuntu auto detect a touch screen monitor? [20:59] Xintruder, it might! [21:00] ikonia, no, theres nothing [21:00] Xintruder, it might not! [21:00] lol [21:00] DRebellion: hmmm... no, i'm "ubuntu" [21:00] imaginator, I am in doubt. and /etc is a tarball atm. But once the Feisty is up and running I don't want to guess which files to overwrite (I don't want to spend hours troubleshooting/reinstall) that's why i asked if anyone knows *for sure* [21:00] Xintruder, i see wacom tablets in the Xorg confs [21:00] khermans: *sigh* OK - I already saw your point but thanks for the second correction [21:00] bruenig: OK... sounds great, just great [21:00] thoreauputic, no harm! [21:00] do .bin files have to be burned to a disk? [21:00] I ask because i might install ubuntu in my car touch screen [21:00] trist: I don't know for certain, sorry. [21:00] imaginator, I thank you for showing interest to my question though :) [21:00] bruenig: well i mean like ubuntu and functionality like "does it crash" , "would i gain any preformance over 32 bit" and "do all the programs work fine like limewire open office and firefox" [21:00] sybariten, oh you haven't heard the half of it, the greatest part about it is that because ubuntu thinks satan invented root, you can't actually fix it because you need sudo to fix it [21:01] Any one here had problems or sucessfully installed matlab [21:01] ikonia: wonderful.... would you guess that i could correct this if booting from some other live distro and mounting the USB stick? [21:01] ogra, you might want to convert them to ISO with bchunk [21:01] My sound suddenly stopped working, someone would help me please? [21:01] bruenig: hehe. yeah i figured we were in the good ooool' catch 22 [21:01] Jay-Oh-En, you might get some performance boosts [21:01] pi4: try pkill firefox [21:01] sybariten: I think I may have miss-understood, I thought you where booting from usb [21:02] ikonia: i am [21:02] Dr_Willis, I will have a go with this anyway I guess. thanks. [21:02] pi4: maybe the proper modules for ir arent loaded?? [21:02] khermans: then I have to burn to disk? [21:02] ogra, you can then either mount -o loop the ISO or burn it [21:02] pi4: could be flash or something doing it also you can restart services by doing like sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart <-- not sure if that will help ya [21:02] ogre, you dont need to burn it [21:02] Hi. I'm trying to add songs to my iPod shuffle via rythymbox, but I keep getting the error "Error Transferring the track. No space left on resource." [21:02] sybariten: so why would booting from another livecd and mounting the usb stick change anything ? [21:02] Can someone help? [21:02] when I run, sh ./install on the matlab cd I get this error [21:02] Hello everyone, i'm having problems with my marvell atheros card. ndiswrapper tells me all the drivers are invalid i can't get it to work [21:02] http://pastebin.com/m5b234c83 [21:02] I saw a thing under feisty and still get in a clean install of gutsy where after boot i'd get GDM in what looks like VGA resolution. If you login, you get a session in VGA too. However, Ctrl-alt-bksp fixes the resolution. Any idea what could cause this? [21:02] ikonia: what i mean is, if theres something fcuked up with a sudo file or so, i could maybe boot up Damn Small Linux from CD, mount the Ubuntu USB stick, and correct the file..... [21:02] pike_, that doesn't start alsa services, it stores alsa levels when stopped and restores them when stopped [21:02] pike_, alsa is a kernel thing [21:02] sybariten: I don't need to see that sort of language [21:03] ogra, sudo mkdir /mount/iso; sudo mount -o loop /path/to/file.iso /media/iso [21:03] ikonia: s/fcuked/screwed, sorry [21:03] sybariten: if you want help, don't use offensive language, it's totally uncalled ofr [21:03] sybariten, you should be able to [21:03] bruenig: ah. well thats what i get for assuming :) [21:03] sybariten: and you've just done it again - there is no need for it [21:03] docmur: you amy need to use sudo [21:03] docmur: amy/may [21:03] sybariten, assuming the usb has a good filesystem, I hope this isn't ntfs or something crazy [21:03] what about logging into su [21:03] bruenig: ok ... is there _one_ such thing as a sudo file? [21:03] how do i uninstall GYchE [21:03] sybariten, /etc/sudoers ? [21:03] sybariten: sudoers is one file [21:03] Hello everyone, i'm having problems with my marvell atheros card. ndiswrapper tells me all the drivers are invalid i can't get it to work [21:03] jason_123: depends on how you installed it [21:03] sybariten, all you need to do is chmod 440 /etc/sudoers and you should be done [21:04] GYachE [21:04] from website [21:04] bruenig: no, its actually linux system on both partitions on the usb stick, IIRC [21:04] blackranger, you sure you need ndiswrapper? [21:04] bruenig: great! thanks [21:04] sudo producees that same error [21:04] ikonia: ok thanks. are you a bot? [21:04] jason_123: was it a deb file? or a install.run file? [21:04] no but i'm not sure what else to try! [21:04] it auto installed [21:04] sybariten: no, not at all [21:04] ok [21:04] brobostigon: how do I see what modules are loaded? and in case they aren't how can I load them? [21:04] you answered so instantaneously to the Language of the Satan [21:04] who was it that helped me yesterday with im wheel or can someone help me tweek the imwheelrc file? [21:04] pi4, lsmod [21:04] ok i'll reboot, thanks all [21:05] pi4, sudo modprobe [21:05] pi4: lsmod to show what is loaded [21:05] how do I delete a RAID device? /dev/md0 [21:05] how can i uninstall it [21:05] okay legitimate question: I am trying to run a ./configure command to install BitchX and I get an error: "C compiler cannot create executables" [21:05] brobostigon: lsmod | grep 'alsa' returns nothing, does it mean that alsa is not loaded? [21:06] How to start sshd, or starts some daemon for ssh? how to open 22? [21:06] what does that mean? [21:06] i try the sudo apt-get remove gyache and not work [21:06] l3dx, i think you can use mdadm [21:06] figured it out, thanks [21:06] DarthSOup: it means you're probably missing the build-essentials package [21:06] pi4: just an i idea, i am n ot sure??

[21:12] pug: and quite afew others too :) [21:12] thoreauputic, do you know what others :) [21:12] nvm i got it now [21:13] imaginator: last thing I did was boot windows vista (i'm dual booting), but I guess vista couldn't mess with my sound [21:13] i dont know what to do about my marvell atheros card now that ndiswrapper didn't work [21:13] I saw a thing under feisty and still get in a clean install of gutsy where after boot i sometimes get GDM in what looks like VGA resolution. If you login, you get a session in VGA too. However, Ctrl-alt-bksp fixes the resolution. Any idea what could cause this? [21:13] Is gnome multi head ignorant ? can you set which monitor a dialog/window will apear on and fullscreen/maximse to ? [21:13] pug: probably adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev netdev lpadmin powerdev scanner [21:13] Does anyone log this IRC channel? [21:13] pi4: it could be that the hardware was a left in a peculiar state. You might see if a cold boot has the same behavior. Reboots aren't quite like cold boots always. [21:13] levander: there are logs onile [21:13] pug: and admin if you want sudpo rights for that user [21:13] pi4: in which case it's a driver bug in Linux [21:13] levander: onoine even [21:14] levander: yes some bots. They are online [21:14] levander: sigh .. long day [21:14] thoreauputic, oh my :O and thankyou [21:14] pi4: or possibly some weird mixer setings from vista [21:14] erUSUL: got a link?

I should try that [21:26] komputes, kino requires RAW AVI data [21:26] Duke_Fluke, i am not sure actually because i did not build this computer this is a business laptop i bought from hp. it's an nc6400 [21:26] komputes, yes try that or mencoder [21:26] how do i change what command runs when i click a mailto: link [21:26] komputes, read the man pages [21:26] I need a distro that can compile, has wireless, has a gui and is small enough for a 512mb flash drive, any suggestions?

[21:31] !raid [21:31] !mdadm | creature [21:31] but xorg doesnt have anything to do with imwheel does it khermans?

[21:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about mdadm - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [21:31] I have just dualbooted windows xp and ubuntu, and ubuntu is kind enough to automatically mount my windows partition and display it on my desktop, which is fantastic, but I like to keep my desktop squeaky clean. . . is there a way to allow ubuntu to mount it each time I boot but only display it say. . . under 'places'? [21:31] unagi, they are probably more familiar with possible mouse configurations since Xorg usually handles that [21:31] TomJonesIII: yes..one sec [21:31] khermans: OK, I'm confused. The software raid link says it's for FakeRAID, which it suggests is not the same software raid. [21:32] komputes, i dont recall [21:32] jack: thankyou [21:32] I have a file with ~100 lines containing one number on each -- now I would like this to be on one line -- is there a simple way to do this? [21:32] dorks [21:32] TomJonesIII: Use Terminal and type gconf-editor browse to /apps/nautilus/desktop and uncheck volumes_visable [21:32] Fakeraid, apparently, is more like the winmodems of yore - a half-capable bit of hardware that needs some software to fully function. I haven't got one of those, I'm doing pure software raid. [21:32] creature, mdadm == softraid and dmraid == hardraid [21:32] no one is responding =(.........i just want to alter my current one [21:32] hello everyone [21:32] unagi, be patient in xorg [21:32] i am running ubuntu 7.10. when i click the quit button, the computer freezes for about a minute until the usual screen comes up. how can i fix this? [21:33] jack: if I do that will it still display other volumes, such as my external harddrive when i plug it in, or will that also only appear under places? [21:33] what is the default for a scanner in the dev direcotory? like lp0 is for a line printer. [21:33] TomJonesIII: You could also change the mount point to anything other than media which then would not show up on your desktop [21:33] Hi everybody, I've just added 2 disks to my system, and they are being seen by the bios but not by any software. (/dev/disk/by-id/ shows just my old disks) What can I do? [21:33] /server irc.swiftirc.net [21:33] hello, still first 24 hours ubuntu :) cna aone tell me wether i can diable a soundcard generaly somehow ? (i got an onboard sound wich is turned off in bios, but tricky ubunut found it anyway. and i got an sb audigy. now i wann only always ever use the SB, how to turn off the other one ?) [21:33] magnetophon, what does fdisk -l show? [21:33] khermans: have you tried cinerella? I have a lot of trouble with all of these but it may just be because everything I edit is mpeg2 and not raw avi [21:34] khermans: The linked document for software raid contains no mention of mdadm at all. [21:34] komputes, i dont recall about cinelerra either [21:34] TomJonesIII: Yes, that first change will keep them all from showing on the desktop. You would need to create a different mount point and edit fstab to move just the one drive off your desktop [21:34] komputes, convetr to RAW first [21:34] wow xchat does NOT like theme changes [21:34] khermans: thanks for the tip, will do [21:34] creature, sudo aptitude install mdadm; man mdadm [21:34] TomJonesIII: Good luck.. heading off to lunch [21:34] komputes, np [21:34] Jack_sparrow: thanks for the help [21:34] np [21:35] i am running ubuntu 7.10. when i click the quit button, the computer freezes for about a minute until the usual screen comes up. how can i fix this? [21:35] ole_: was the kernel able to detect your SB Audigy? [21:35] blahblahx, perhaps your compiz settings are slowing it?

[21:42] I have installed them both [21:42] fx|RabBit: nope vlc is pretty handy since yoiu can specify capture sources and stream em to remote machines etc [21:42] Does my Windows hdd need an NTLDR? [21:42] I don't know which I am using [21:42] TheDarkKiller, sudo apt-get source grub [21:42] TheDarkKiller: it simple links to boot.ini and yes it does need NTLDR [21:42] fx|RabBit: its the easiest tool to test the capture cards initially imo [21:42] pike_: and you can stream from a tv-adapter with vlc????

[21:43] try gparted to partition disks [21:43] white_eagle: no you didn't as you told me earlier you where using the ati ones [21:43] magnetophon, I think you can do lspci -v |grep IDE [21:43] because I installed the repos drivers over the ati ones [21:43] white_eagle: again - don't lie [21:43] khermans: thx by the way:) [21:44] fx|RabBit, np :-) [21:44] DRebellion: yes now can I already have linux installed and setup a dualboot? [21:44] I am trying to open webmail when I click a mailto link but webmailcompse doesn't work because it says it is only compatible with firefox .7 to 1.4 and I am using 2.0 [21:44] hi, if I use ttylog, should i get everything that goes to and comes from the serial port printed immediately ? (using command "ttylog -d /dev/ttyS0") [21:44] ikonia: after earlier I told you that, I installed the repos drivers, and I didn't erase the ati ones [21:44] gerro: yeah, but i think its easier to do the other way round [21:44] its confusing, I know [21:44] white_eagle: right so what drivers are you currently using [21:44] fx|RabBit: no its the standard app [21:45] InGunsWeTrust, you just need to edit the file to make it compatible with 2.x [21:45] pike_: can i have a talk in a query pls? [21:45] ikonia: I said earlier that I'm using the repos ones, but because 3D apps not working I'll say I'm using the ati ones [21:45] white_eagle: that means utterly nothing [21:45] white_eagle: don't waste peoples time talking nonsense [21:45] fx|RabBit: you can msg me but im at work so it may take me a while to respond [21:46] How/Where do i edit the file [21:46] ikonia: please let me tell you from the beggining [21:46] will you listen? [21:46] white_eagle: just say "I've installed the ati drivers - I tried to re-install the ubuntu ones, now I don't know which ones I'm using and I'm having stability issues" [21:46] white_eagle: don't say things are fact when you have no idea [21:46] How do I run a setup.py file? [21:46] yes, thats right ikonia, I'm terribly sorry [21:46] Brandon__: python setup.py [21:46] okay, so from what I can tell I need to install the Universe and Multiverse packages...I'm sort of lost after that [21:46] khermans : shouldsn't the vista drivers work? it still didn't work with ndiswrapper [21:47] Hi folks! How do I kill an amsn session stuck unresponsively in my systray? And, is it by any means possible to get prettier fonts in amsn? [21:47] ikonia, thanks, for some reason I thougth that would open it in a text editor :X [21:47] I'm very sorry for wasting your precious time [21:47] Duke_Fluke: they are not raided, and are on a Marvell 88SE61XX [21:47] lusepuster: if you use Tcl/Tk 8.5 you can have antialiased fonts [21:47] I know you are volunteers [21:47] lusepuster: use the command: kill [21:47] lusepuster: killall amsn maybe?? [21:47] white_eagle: and I'll tell you what I said earlier, installing the ati.com drivers will change your system in unknown ways, I suggest joining #ati and asking for the correct way to purge them from your system before progressing any futher [21:47] lusepuster: I'm not sure if the amsn developers officially support amsn yet though [21:47] white_eagle: open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf with text editor what driver does it list as using there? [21:47] blackranger, it may be possible that they implement some feature of NDIS in Vista that is not presently implemented in ndiswrapper??? [21:47] Whats the best File system for Ubuntu [21:47] blackranger, can you try the XP driver instead? [21:47] lusepuster: with 8.5 that is [21:47] !best > Darkmystere (Darkmystere, see the private message from Ubotu) [21:47] ext3 [21:48] Darkmystere: ufs [21:48] so, for some reason the ubuntu CD isn't booting, it's just sitting there with a blank screen and a blinking cursor [21:48] yeah, go on, answer the polls. [21:48] imaginator, they do! But I can't seem to find any tcl8.5-dev packages in the Ubuntu repos and they seem to be necessary [21:48] LjL:.... I mean whats the usual file system Ubuntu is installed on im using partiton magic.. [21:48] twobitsprite, try the alternate CD install [21:48] pike_: ok thanx, see query for further puzzles gg [21:48] magnetophon: does lsmod |grep 88SE61 find anything? [21:48] Darkmystere: then ask that. ext3. and don't use partition magic please. [21:48] !gparted > Darkmystere (Darkmystere, see the private message from Ubotu) [21:48] DRebellion, yeah but how do I find the pid? [21:48] Darkmystere, ext3 [21:48] lusepuster: I'm not sure if they have been built yet. Debian was working on some. [21:48] khermans, that isn't going to install it is it? I just want to use it as a liveCD [21:49] lusepuster, pidof [21:49] ikonia: thanks very much, I was thinking for a new fresh install [21:49] khermans, thanx [21:49] any sexy girl here???? [21:49] Duke_Fluke: Nope. [21:49] white_eagle: that would be an even better approach [21:49] does someone know if there is a problem with a file update? I can't download one of the files for some reason [21:49] twobitsprite, oh as a live CD? did you try the safe graphics boot option? [21:49] Web890: this is a support channel not a chat channel [21:49] LjL: i already made the partion with partiton magic it did a safe Partiton i researched only almost safe partiong tool [21:49] !offtopic > Web890 [21:49] khermans, I'll try [21:49] LjL: Gparted killed windowsw and ubuntu 12 times.. [21:49] Webspot: /join #ubuntu-offtopic [21:49] imaginator: was happy to early. sound works in rhythm box, but no sound from video player ?!? :( [21:50] magnetophon, check this out then http://www.driverstock.com/ASUS-P5WDG2-WS-Professional-driver-download/6-9-10190/index.html [21:50] LjL: I just will format the partion with GParted How do i move a wubi install to a partiton? [21:50] does someone know if there is a problem with a file update? I can't download one of the files for some reason [21:50] ni1s? [21:50] imaginator, just weird since they provide autopackage-packages for tcl8.5 but fails the check for tcl8.5 when I try to install amsn with the tcl8.5 runtime package installed [21:50] Darkmystere, dd ? [21:50] YouKnowMe: what ? [21:50] ole_: is video player using alsa and have all the codecs? try using alsamixer and fixing volume maybe [21:50] lusepuster: if you use the tcl and tk from tcl.sf.net cvs you can have a working 8.5-based install (hopefully). The recent 8.5.0 release had a bug or 2. [21:50] Darkmystere: i haven't the slightest idea... try asking in #wubi [21:51] Where do I find the APT line for the Universe Component? [21:51] !easysource > DarthSOup (DarthSOup, see the private message from Ubotu) === WildKat is now known as GAWildKat [21:51] ikonia I was wondering if I could get that command again? to remove slimserver and everything it brought with it? [21:51] gerro: yes it has, and volumes are up. i gave bth the same mp3 file [21:51] imaginator, thanks! [21:51] LjL:....#wubi is empty [21:51] Darkmystere, you probably need to utilize dd [21:52] I am trying make mailto: links open in firefox and go to webmail. webmailcompose was suggested but it doesn't want to install on firefox 2.0 somebody said to just edit the file. How do I do that? it isnt just a simple text file so i am at a loss [21:52] ole_: which video player are you using? [21:52] Darkmystere, another possiblity is clonezilla [21:52] Darkmystere: the fact remains that i haven't the slightest idea [21:52] lusepuster: good luck :) [21:52] khermans whats dd... [21:52] Still need to know how to identify the pid of my stuck amsn session though [21:52] Darkmystere, man dd [21:52] !info dd| Darkmystere [21:52] Darkmystere, man dd [21:52] Darkmystere, a disk dumping utility [21:52] I'm having trouble getting Ubuntu 7.10 to recognize the built in bluetooth on my Acer 9410z. Anyone have any ideas? [21:52] imaginator: its called "Viedeo Player" and was preinstalled with ubuntu (7.19) [21:52] lusepuster: doesn't "ps aux" help? [21:53] GAWildKat, lspci | grep bt | ... google ? [21:53] lusepuster: 'pidof amsn' ? [21:53] lusepuster, pidof amsn [21:53] what's the ...google? [21:53] GAWildKat, khermans is smart listen to him [21:53] khermans, Will that move Wubi install to a partion? [21:53] LjL, thankz - I have a kinda scattered and random CLI knowledge [21:53] if you mean did I search google...yeah, I did. [21:53] Darkmystere: we don't support wubi [21:53] or her [21:53] googled for weeks. [21:54] weird, my screen and graphics preferences has no data populated.... any ideas? [21:54] ole_: perhaps try something like mplayer/gmplayer. it's generally a better movie player in my opinion. [21:54] Darkmystere, it is possible that dd'ing the bits from the file to a partition will move your wubi install [21:54] Darkmystere, the real question is, do you really need the data? [21:54] does anyone know how i can play m4v podcasts? [21:54] imaginator: so its not possible to deactivate a hardware device completly ? [21:54] GAWildKat, what is the model bluetooth chipset? [21:54] khermans, Yea....I kinda hate reinstalling everything and doing the dreaded ever increasing updates... [21:55] ive just installed ubuntu [21:55] GAWildKat, wow weeks? what chipset is your bt? [21:55] ole_: well, I have a builtin sound card, and for some reason the default device is my SB Live (the non-builtin). I disabled the builtin in the BIOS. [21:55] its amazing [21:55] ole_: so I don't know why it uses your disabled card. [21:55] imaginator: i did too. but ubuntu found it anyway :) [21:55] can you have msn with ubuntu [21:55] ? [21:55] boudha: gaim [21:55] or pidgin [21:55] boudha: yes Pidgin (new gaim) for exmaple [21:55] Not a clue. Just know it's a bluetooth 2.0 EDT [21:55] Does anyone know how to get evolution to forward an email on when it meets a specific criteria? I haven't found that function yet. [21:55] Darkmystere, you should really contact the user community for wubi or the developer directly [21:56] any one know what file system abbreviation to use in the mount command for a partition that fdisk marks as 'Linux raid autodectect' [21:56] boudha: there are a bunch of programs that support msn. pidgin, kde has a program for it, and amsn [21:56] GAWildKat, did you run the command suggested? [21:56] Darkmystere, otherwise it could take a while to figure out exactly how to dump it correctly and boot your old install [21:56] !info amsn | boudha [21:56] boudha: amsn: An MSN messenger written in Tcl. In component universe, is optional.

(openssl is segfaulting) [21:56] I'm getting some errors when booting in safe graphics mode... like "/etc/acpi/power.sh: line 3: /etc/default/acpi-support: Input/output error" and "/usr/share/acpi-support/power-funcs: line 31: /usr/bin/on_ac_power: No such file or directory" ... [21:56] imaginator: using /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist? [21:56] i have a problem in adjusting volume [21:56] wow thanks [21:56] my pcm option doesnt work [21:56] then it goes on to say "Running local boot scripts..." then "...done." and it just sits there [21:56] horza the same way you installed it just choose the reinstall option. [21:57] scunizi: command line, as I have no gui, if poss? [21:57] oblek: that probably would work :) [21:57] I know this CD works because it boots up on my laptop... just not on this desktop here [21:57] i am using ubuntu 7.10 and my sound card is Intel Corporation 82801H [21:57] How can evolution be integrated to work with clamav? [21:57] Well im thinking about using my live cd and after the swap is finished installing ill just use the gparted in ubuntu live cd and partion and install and just move my files to there.. [21:57] 00:1e.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 82801 Mobile PCI Bridge (rev e2) (prog-if 01 [Subtractive decode]) [21:57] * horza puts his vote in the pidgin camp, with otr and encryption plugins both installed [21:57] Sound good? [21:57] GAWildKat, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [21:57] horza not having done it that way I can only guess at it.. sudo apt-get install openssl [21:57] horza or sudo apt-get reinstall openssl [21:58] scunizi: Nope, just tells me it's already installed. And no such command apt-get reinstall [21:58] any suggestion ? [21:58] imaginator: gerro: thx anyway you two. gonna crawls the net some more [21:58] I just disabled my restricted video drivers, and now my Ubuntu (XGL) is very slow. Dragging a window makes it use 90% CPU, for example. [21:58] lkerim: what do you mean you can't enable it? [21:58] horza: try sudo aptitude reinstall openssl [21:58] I know it should be obvious, and I am sure I will kick myself... but... [21:58] Duke_Fluke: Yhat is not the MOBO I'm using, does it matter (it is the correct chip) [21:58] is this common? and more importantly, how am i going to fix this? :) [21:59] horza, sudo aptitude purge ... [21:59] magnetophon, not sure but thats the only driver I could find [21:59] Duke_Fluke, [21:59] actually i adjust pcm but [21:59] doesnt work [21:59] starnesstommy: Nope [21:59] wobblywu, if you aren't using the right drivers for your display adapter, you are bound to experience a bad performance [21:59] magnetophon, right now you prob have ide_generic (check with lsmod) [22:00] khermans: purge, then install? === fabio__ is now known as fabio2 [22:00] i can not set volume (up or down) bu using PCM [22:00] horza, perhaps [22:00] i can use master but can t us pcm [22:00] khermans: you inspire me with confidence :-P [22:00] lkerim, has sound ever worked? [22:00] i have a laptop that only had a floppy and a usb port, does any one know of a program that will make it so i can have an external cd rom be bootable? [22:00] horza, is it always segfaulting or only in certain scenarios? [22:00] yeah worked [22:00] Hey, I'm wondering, do I have to install NTLDR to the MBR on my Windows disk for GRUB to start it? [22:00] unop, so what would the right drivers be then? [22:01] mikeylikesit5805, that is BIOS specific [22:01] mikeylikesit5805, not sure but try SmartBootManager [22:01] but may be i am thinking if i set volume on PCM i have much more sound [22:01] wobblywu, i dunno depends, prolly one of the restricted drivers you disabled .. what kinda display adapter is it? [22:01] khermans: it segfaults when I try and access a ssl page [22:01] ok thanks, but i was wondering if there were any floppies distros, yea duke_fluke i head heard of somehting like that thanks guys i will let you know how it goes [22:01] hey guys i was wondering if i install 8.04 lts now will i be able to update it to the current version with all the right pacakages or is it going to be a rediculus hassle [22:01] how can I start the nautilus file manager? [22:01] how do I remove a program, and everything it brought with it? Like how would I remove slimserver, along with removing mysql+the-crap-that-came-with? [22:01] horza, this is i686 ? [22:02] horza, did it ever work -- did you do something funky? [22:02] Dislo: you might want to check #ubuntu+1 [22:02] lo all, I'm interested in Ubuntu 7.10 64bit and need to know if the Helix player will install for FireFox in Ubuntu 7.10 64 [22:02] unop, I disabled my ATI accelerated graphics driver (restricted) [22:02] khermans: first time I've tried. [22:02] hola [22:02] hi [22:02] khermans: it's a standard feisty install on slicehost [22:02] Dislo, if you are looking for smooth sailing -- then i would advise against installing heron just yet [22:02] khermans: first time I've tried it from fresh install [22:02] unop, and I want to run the unofficial drivers, which i'm assuming i'm running right now (but is horribly slow for me) [22:02] horza, perhaps slicehost has modified the binaries? [22:03] what is the problem [22:03] khermans: Nope. There was no apache2 installed or ssl, only Dapper. I upgraded to Feisty and then did apt-get to install them [22:03] why i cannot use PCM to set volume [22:03] wobblywu, ATI drivers are restricted .. so i'm assuming whatever you are using right now isnt the right driver [22:03] okay, I did the whole APT line input for all the basic packages (universe etc) how do I activate them? [22:03] doesn't appear to work after following the instructions there, khermans. [22:03] horza, do you know how to use gdb :-) [22:03] someone has any answer [22:03] wobblywu, can i ask why you dont want to run the ATI drivers? [22:03] I've a Gateway MT3423 AMD laptop. Ubuntu Gutsy. I've had it for a while now but haven't bothered to figure out why the built in SD card read doesn't work. It works in Vista, as a USB device, but it does not show in lsusb. Thoughts? [22:03] GAWildKat, did you check if your device is in the "supported devices" section? [22:04] khermans: The point of shifting from gentoo to ubuntu is to leave those problems behind :-P [22:04] DarthSOup, sudo aptitude update; sudo aptitude install foo? [22:04] thoreauputic, im back :) [22:04] unop, because they're apparently leading to some nasty bugs on my system, aside from the whole them being restricted thing [22:04] pug: OK - working ? [22:04] khermans, do I put that in a terminal? [22:04] DarthSOup, yes [22:04] horza, hehe [22:05] err is there a way i can make a ubuntu live thumbdrive instead of cd? [22:05] i want it to have postgresql and apache and php in there as well [22:05] So there is no way to simply reinstall a package in ubuntu then? :-( [22:05] unop, there's aiglx (open source) instead of fglrx (proprietary drivers) [22:05] horza, there is [22:05] horza, but it seems your package is broken? [22:05] horza: sudo apt-get install --reinstall [22:05] which ran fine for me in feisty, for the record [22:06] Unable to open 'v4l://' what can that mean? google doesnt really help... [22:06] Hey, I'm wondering, do I have to install NTLDR to the MBR on my Windows disk for GRUB to start it? [22:06] wobblywu, the driver being restricted does not imply they have a negative impact on performance .. infact, they are quite well tested and probably work the best for the range of cards they support .. after all they are the vendors' binary blobs. [22:06] assid: You win. Why isn't this in apt-get --help? grr [22:06] khermans, do I need to check them and install them in the synaptic package manager? [22:06] !grub | TheDarkKiller [22:06] TheDarkKiller: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [22:06] horza: man apt-get [22:07] lol [22:07] horza, is it also possible that your XEN chunk is exceeding its allocation? [22:07] I'm not completely stupid :P [22:07] unop, as I said, aside from the whole philosophical standpoint (of not agreeing with them being restricted/proprietary), the drivers are causing problems on my system (which have been reported and verified on launchpad) [22:07] DarthSOup, if you like [22:07] how do I remove a program, and everything it brought with it? Like how would I remove slimserver, along with removing mysql+the-crap-that-came-with? [22:07] khermans: which ones do I install? [22:07] unop, considering there's an alternative to the restricted ati drivers, i was hoping to run that alternative as i did in the past and it worked fine for me [22:07] khermans: you mean high load? [22:07] horza, yes or mem/swap issues [22:08] unop, however, that alternative seems to be running rather bad for me at the moment, hence my asking for help [22:08] err [22:08] wobblywu, well in that case, you've just traded-off one set of problems for another -- guess you'll have to weigh one against another and choose whats best for you, eh? :) [22:08] DarthSOup, you can install whatever packages you want! [22:08] how does one make a live distro out of ubuntu [22:08] i want it for a thumbdrive [22:08] unop, you seem to be missing the point entirely for some reason [22:08] DarthSOup, after you enable universe and multiverse [22:08] wobblywu, perhaps [22:09] assid: http://reconstructor.aperantis.com/ [22:09] any help with SD reader? [22:09] khermans, didn't I already do that with sudo aptitude... [22:09] ? [22:09] unop, the drivers i'm using right now used to work on this exact computer. i exchanged them for the official drivers in the past, but because of the problems i'm having with the restricted drivers i want to run the open source drivers again. however, they're not working well at all right now [22:09] I am trying to make mailto: links open in webmail. webmailcompose does not work because it says it is for .7 to 1.4 and I am running 2.0 any other ideas?

[22:09] DarthSOup, just go to System -> administration -> software sources [22:10] cellofellow: A generic plug in reader or the one included with a laptop or vendor specific one? [22:10] horza, :-) [22:10] khermans: yeah [22:10] horza, so it could be your resources [22:10] horza, :-) [22:10] Jack_Sparrow: included in the laptop. Not sure the make and model. [22:10] khermans: Why only ssl though? other web pages serve up ok [22:10] horza, ssl is CPU intensive [22:10] cellofellow: Better off spending the 6 - 10 and get a universal.. they dont give out info on those which makes it extremely hard to build or get a driver [22:11] hey guys..can anyone give me some quick help with ubuntu server? [22:11] khermans: what do I do from there...I already tried to input the APT lines with no apparent effect [22:11] I am trying to make mailto: links open in webmail. webmailcompose does not work because it says it is for firefox 0.7 to 1.4 and I am running 2.0, any other ideas? [22:11] Jack_Sparrow: ok. that really sucks as it would be useful to actually, well, use. [22:11] is anyone here using dmcrypt for full disk encryption? [22:11] DarthSOup, do it in the GUI dude [22:11] Beginner question! I get "Are you root?", how do I become root? [22:11] !ask | castigan [22:11] horza: what id i want to add more apps in there [22:11] castigan: Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question -- All On One Line, so others can read it and follow it easily --. and if anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-) [22:11] I can't seem to find any information from Windows or Linux what the heck it is. [22:11] what I suppose to write in :configure the network" [22:11] InGunsWeTrust, i told you that it is possible to edit that file [22:11] !root > MadsRH [22:11] khermans: where be that? [22:12] ive installed server.. but only have command line.. no desktop. [22:12] DarthSOup, just go to System -> administration -> software sources [22:12] cellofellow: Helps to buy supported hardware.. at least it is an easy and inexpensive fix. [22:12] Yeah, and how do I edit it. you never answered that [22:12] castigan that is waht server is [22:12] castigan: ubuntu sever is only cli, no GUI.

[22:41] there are lote sof problem in ubuntu 7.10 [22:41] wait, nvm found a forum with my answer. [22:41] lkerim: Yes. I installed 7.10 myself but for anyone else I wouldn't go through the pain and would install Feisty [22:42] castigan, which, is 'them' [22:42] castigan, a windows share, or a linux share ? [22:42] gerro: i have not but i doubt it would work [22:42] i would like to share the windows driver.. [22:42] sorry the windows drive... [22:42] i cannot set volume from PCM [22:42] castigan, a windows drive, then you share that on the windows box, that has nothing to do with Ubuntu [22:42] i install first ubuntu 7.10 there is no sound [22:42] gerro: not really wanting to try it without absolute verification that it works before hand. primarily the usb passthrough part to itunes, and itunes actually recognizing the ipod [22:43] nooo... i have two drives in the linux bos. i want them to be accessed by the windows network. [22:43] surely this can be done. [22:43] castigan, when you reply to someone, it makes it alot easier if you add that persons nick in front, so they can see who your talking to [22:43] darkkith: yeah using usb is odd [22:43] ok neverblue [22:43] castigan: samba [22:43] can someone help me [22:43] Hello, I need a hand with a new "Internal Error" I am getting in Ubuntu [22:43] castigan, I'll ask you this one last time, are you sharing your windows share, or your Ubuntu shares ? [22:44] Hello, I have an Ubuntu related problem, and I think I have to update my motherboard. Anyone who knows a lot about motherboards? (I am sorry, I don't know where else to turn) [22:44] castigan: do you have SMB file sharing setup? there is something called SAMBA you should read about. [22:44] !samba | castigan [22:44] castigan: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [22:44] unop: itunes does blow but after digging into it, i like itunes playlist flexibility more than amarok's, and there are much fewer bugs in itunes, believe it or not. the main thing that bothered me was not being able to update the library based on new mp3's showing up in a folder, which i have since resolved with a program called "itunes folder watch" which uses the itunes script api to inject "new" music into the library [22:44] Djerkaf: what problem? [22:44] castigan, good luck [22:44] neverblue, i want to share a windows ntfs driver with all our apps on it... from a linux box [22:44] !HAL |LDS_Troooper [22:44] Sorry, I don't know anything about hal - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [22:44] i used samba!! [22:44] How do I get Sound Juicer to rip audio files from a CD into mp3 format? [22:44] like I said castigan good luck [22:44] but the drives were not accessable!! [22:44] geez [22:45] good luck thanks. [22:45] castigan: it doesn't need to to be a windows drive [22:45] castigan: when you share a folder over the network the filesystem it uses doesn't matter for the networked clients [22:45] yes.i know this [22:45] !ntfs-3g | castigan [22:45] castigan: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions [22:45] I am getting an Internal Error at start up that says "Failed to initiate HAL" ?? [22:46] but when i shared the drives and tried to access from windows.. it says cannot access.. do not have permission. [22:46] erawfish: I can't install Ubuntu server, it says "bios age (1999) fails cutoff (2000)" I have discussed this in this chat earlier today but we didn't find any solution. So I think I will have to update my motherboard. I am not sure if I have found the right bios/drivers and don't know which version name I should go after. [22:46] Djerkaf: can't you boot with say, acpi=off? [22:46] darkkith, ohh .. i'm not saying i like itunes or dislike it either .. i'm quite against using applications like it or amarok, gtkpod, etc ..i personally prefer to just mount the ipod, drag and drop files over and be done with it .. but but but .. [22:46] !webcam [22:46] Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [22:47] Djerkaf: the warning is ACPI-related, you aren't planning to hibernate/suspend anytime soon right? :P [22:47] scguy318: No, that does not work. I have tried other options too, like acpi=oldboot , noapic nolapic , pci=routeirq , and some others, but nothing works. [22:48] Djerkaf: I guess a BIOS update is in the works then :( [22:48] Hi room. Can different users be setup to login to different networks? [22:48] scguy318: Sorry, don't know either the word hibernate or suspend. ;D [22:48] How can I set it so ubuntu mounts my other drives/partitions upon login? [22:48] mattgyver83, depends on what you mean by networks here [22:49] Hey there, I'm trying to get my wireless card to work and dont know where to start, can somebody help me out? [22:49] !info fstab [22:49] !fstab [22:49] Package fstab does not exist in gutsy [22:49] The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [22:49] chimp, ^^ [22:49] Cheers [22:49] scguy318: I come to the partitioning part of the installation. The name of the disk is not always shown, but anyway, when I want to apply the changes to the disk, the screen turns blue and I can do nothing what so ever. [22:50] unop, i want my login to connect to my household LAN and my work accnt to connect to the work LAN upon login. [22:50] Djerkaf: hibernation is when you suspend to RAM, suspending is when you put your machine into low-power state [22:50] *suspend to disk [22:50] Each time i change the network on one, it effects the other. [22:50] Djerkaf: suspending is suspend to RAM [22:50] mattgyver83, you mean like wireless and wired networks ?? [22:50] unop, yes. [22:50] Djerkaf: mm, perhaps at the moment you're gonna apply the changes switch to tty4? [22:51] Djerkaf: watch the messages, maybe a fault [22:51] mattgyver83, i'm quite sure the network-manager applet handles this [22:51] Is there a program that can convert ogg to mp3? [22:51] Devourer: probably ffmpeg? === manox_ is now known as N0x [22:51] Devourer: yes, but there's no need [22:51] Devourer: im sure audacity also [22:51] Switch^: Why not? Lol. [22:51] scguy318: I got the tip to press alt+f4, but when the screen gets blue and it's going to start formatting the disk, I can do -nothing- ... =/ [22:51] Devourer, because oggs are better than mp3s :) [22:51] Duke_Fluke: After some research i found pata_marvell (wich is the module that is loaded) should work in legacy mode, for the first two ports. I will reboot and try that. Thanks so far! [22:52] lossy to lossy = morelossy [22:52] unop: But some things aren't compatible with ogg... =\ [22:52] Djerkaf: I recall that when I was doing a text-mode install, kept freezing with keyboard lights flashing during partitioning, I figured out later it was bad RAM [22:52] Devourer: "oggdec" to get a wave then "lame" to get mp3 [22:52] hi is there any way to install language pack [22:52] Djerkaf: kernel had paniced during the partitioning [22:52] ok, do we have a NON-LIVE CD I can get that's 64 bit? [22:52] I'm havin major issues with the LIVE CD version of it.. [22:52] j #ubuntu-br [22:52] CaBlGuY: should be an alternate CD for AMD64 [22:52] koalla: you forgot your / :) [22:52] CaBlGuY: every cd can perform an oem install [22:52] #ubuntu-br [22:53] ok, how do I do a text install with the Live CD? [22:53] scguy318: But I have had Windows XP on it (please don't get cocky now ;) and it has worked fine. :S [22:53] could someone please tell me the command to install gnome desktop? [22:53] whats the commands? [22:53] hi is there any way to install language pack [22:53] Djerkaf: XP hides errors :P [22:53] cabiguy: you cany do text with live cd, you need alternate cd. [22:53] cant [22:54] azm0d3us: the entire Ubuntu desktop can be installed via sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop [22:54] CaBlGuY: why can't you install using the live-cd? [22:54] unop, i have yet to find anything of the such. Your speaking of System-Administration-Network ?? [22:54] azm0d3us sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop ? [22:54] scguy318: Do you think I should try to use one RAM at the time then? [22:54] scguy318: ty [22:54] Switch^: CD keeps freezin up.. I've tried it several; times now.. [22:54] Djerkaf: run memtest on your RAM [22:54] Djerkaf: and probably test each memory module [22:54] and I rather prefer the non live version anyway.. [22:55] Djerkaf: hopefully if RAM is the issue, would rat out the bad module :) [22:55] CaBlGuY: then do oem install, reinstall xp, and then reinstall grub [22:55] Better Gmail seems to not be working either sadly so I still have the problem: I want to open webmail with mailto: links [22:55] scguy318: I tried some bootable memory test program once, and it took -forever- to test. I'd rather not do that. :/ [22:55] Switch^: I aint got XP on this hdd.. just Linux.. [22:55] !info network-manager [22:55] network-manager: network management framework daemon.

[23:11] Gekkomon_Shogun, I asked you to elaborate and give momore detail but it doesn't seem like you did, hard to answer your question then [23:11] hello [23:11] flamesage: hi [23:11] hello im trying to get flash to work in firefox, uninstalled and reinstalled flash-nonfree but to no avail... can anyone help me out [23:11] like what do u need to know [23:12] jj_:: are you using 7.10 ubuntu?

[23:12] *swiftfox [23:12] Darkmystere: are you using wizard or manual partitioning? [23:12] ubuntu powerpc [23:12] ballogen: Usually manual [23:13] jj_:: goto system > preferences > appearance > Visual Effects [23:13] Gekkomon_Shogun, that is the distro, but what machine are you running it on? iMac? PS3? [23:13] Environment variable CDK_DIR must be defined to use [23:13] hello, what is the difference between the cd and dvd downloads? [23:13] vista [23:13] hey does anyone know what this error would mean? Enviornment variable CDK_DIR must be defined to use the NCSU CDK. IT is not defined in the calling enviornment so the NCSU customizations will not be performed [23:13] Darkmystere: well, just leave the windows partition, create a new with / as mountpoint and bootable flag on. and then create a swapfile, and your done [23:13] Jinxed-: export CDK_DIR=whatever [23:14] what is the difference between the cd and dvd downloads? [23:14] ballogen: Just got through making a 1GB Swap and 15.5GB Disk for Ubuntu with Partioner magic safe partioning well the *safest* [23:14] sco50000: the dvd has a few more package on it that you dont need to download also has the text based installer other than that nothing [23:14] how many GB is 16656 [23:14] hello, does anyone have any experience with ram disks? [23:15] 16gb [23:15] Darkmystere: that's a huge swap file. are you planning to use it? [23:15] sco50000: about 700 Meg.. ;) [23:15] flowers: I do [23:15] anyone here familair with metacity? [23:15] agggghhh. my laptop fan is not working. what cli commands check on fans, please? [23:15] i'll probably get the cd. the dvd is will take far too long to download [23:15] Darkmystere: the builtin partitiontool should be enough for u [23:15] Iusepuster: im running linex [23:15] flowers: I typically setup my ramdisks with the tmpfs file system [23:15] ballogen: Ok err does it auto change it to ex3? or do i have to click and change that [23:15] imaginator: well, i'm looking to create a temporary ram disk just to test some things out but for the life of me can't find any info on it [23:15] sco50000: if your looking for just the basics and something to get you going now, yes, the CD is all you need.. [23:15] Darkmystere: ext3 default [23:16] Darkmystere: if you havent select ext2 or another filesystem before... [23:16] flowers: add something like this to your /etc/fstab: tmpfs /work tmpfs size=50m 0 0 [23:16] is there some channel for newbies with patient people? ;] [23:16] Gekkomon_Shogun, Vista is not hardware it's software. But Vista cannot run on PowerPC Machines, so I guess you shouldn't use the PowerPC version at all [23:16] Darkmystere: its kinda straightforward [23:16] ballogen: Well right now the partion im installing on is ntfs [23:16] Is it normal for a wireless card to be identified as eth1? [23:16] flowers: make sure you mkdir work in / and then sudo mount /work [23:16] imaginator: could you point me to a walk through? [23:16] scguy318: Still there? [23:16] Iusepuster: wait wait i think we got mixed up [23:16] flowers: I don't know of a walk through. [23:16] hi all [23:17] imaginator: would do i have to re-boot or is there a way i can initialize it? [23:17] LibTech: can be. [23:17] flowers: no need to reboot [23:17] imaginator: alright, i'm gona try it out now [23:17] flowers: do you know what /etc/fstab is for? [23:17] ballongen: Should i select use as ext3 Just in case? and how many Gb is 16656 also i thought live cds dont save ur past usage? === gcc is now known as debatem1 [23:17] I want to open webmail with mailto: links. I have tried Better Gmail 2 and webmailcompose and both of them do the same thing: It opens gmail but it stays on "Loading..." forever [23:17] Darkmystere: 16656 in what units? [23:18] Iusepuster: u do get that im running vista and trying to install linux that is how u took it right [23:18] scguy318: MB [23:18] imaginator: yes, it mounts all listed disks/filesystems [23:18] pike_: Have any ideas on what could be wrong with a wireless connection that shows up in iwconfig, but won't list any APs? [23:18] Gekkomon_Shogun, it's lusepuster w a small L :-) [23:18] And yes that is how I got it [23:18] Darkmystere: divide by 1024, that's around 16 GB [23:18] what commands do i use to check on my laptop fan? [23:18] Gekkomon_Shogun, and yes that is how I got it [23:18] LibTech: id say driver issue probably i guess [23:18] CaBlGuY: what all does the dvd include? [23:19] i installed jedit but i cant save files, it only work when i run it from terminal (sudo jedit), i have to set somewhere rights for jedit to saved files in /opt/ dir? [23:19] scguy318: Good ok click it and select ext3 and set the mount point to / correct? [23:19] scguy318: I tried it once and checked 4th , there were several things I don't think look correctly [23:19] flowers: it's mostly just a table that associates devices with filesystems and paths, and indicates other tidbits like no. you can add noauto for non-automatic mounts, and other related attributes, such as whether to dump or fsck the filesystem. [23:19] lusepuster: so what are u saying i need to do [23:19] Darkmystere: yeah [23:19] Whats a good python IDE? Anything you guys suggest? [23:19] flowers: oops typo. with the no. I meant noauto [23:19] flamesage: perhaps idle? [23:20] kdevelop? [23:20] Darkmystere: 10 000 MB is 1000 GB [23:20] flamesage: idle is the official IDE that comes with Python [23:20] I'd prefer GNOME. [23:20] Hmm [23:20] Gekkomon_Shogun, you need to find out what processor type you have on your computer, or at least what brand and model it is [23:20] pike_: when I use iwlist scan it gives an error message of: Failed to read scan data: resource temporarily unavilable. [23:20] haha [23:20] scguy318: "Failure to communicate with kernel device-mapper driver , No entry for device-mapper found , Is device-mapper driver missing , No matching physical volumes found , No volume groups found" [23:20] 1000 mb is 1 gb. haha. [23:20] im tired [23:20] lusepuster: amd 64 x2 [23:20] scguy318: Should not have to do with the RAM, should it...? [23:20] bballogen: MB or MiB ;) [23:20] LibTech: sudo ifconfig eth1 up;iwlist eth1 scan says that? [23:21] ballongen: it depends on if you're talking about RAM or disks. disks use base 10, and RAM tends to use base 2 [23:21] scguy318: dont start with MiB and GiB now, hehe === interruptz is now known as iNtERrUpT [23:21] Djerkaf: strange, is your CD ok? [23:21] 1266 is 1GB right? [23:21] 1+1 is not always 2 neither [23:21] scguy318: Yes, I have checked it and it is OK. [23:21] Gekkomon_Shogun, that is not a PowerPC, and you should download the Ubuntu x86 64bit or 32 bit edition [23:21] Darkmystere: go go go, dont count [23:21] pike_: yes [23:21] What Python GUI libary would you guys suggest I use? [23:21] scguy318: BTW, it's v 7.10 [23:21] Gekkomon_Shogun, ppc is for PowerPC devices that runs on pre-intel Macs, playstation # and other machines [23:22] hey does anyone know what this error would mean? Enviornment variable CDK_DIR must be defined to use the NCSU CDK. IT is not defined in the calling enviornment so the NCSU customizations will not be performed [23:22] flamesage: i like qt, but apparently wx is good [23:22] LibTech: driver problem [23:22] I'm either learning towards pyGTK or wxpython. [23:22] u can type 1GB instead of 34932 in ubuntu partition manager also [23:22] imaginator: so how do i specify the ram... ie everything in fstab is /dev/-etc will it know what i'm doing if i just add tmpfs /work tmpfs size=50m 0 0 [23:22] flamesage haha its a no to the qt then :D [23:22] pike_: My wireless broke when I did a bunch of updates via the update manager. [23:22] Well, if I go with wxpython, would I still be able to use some of GNOMES features? (Such as.. making something popup in the notifcation window?) [23:22] Gekkomon_Shogun, An AMD 64 processor cannot read the binaries in the ppc edition, it "speaks another language" [23:22] Djerkaf: strange, just might be RAM, though I'm not absolutely positive [23:22] .. im trying to get metacity to use gconftool-2 as the configuration tool . anyone? [23:22] ballogen: Lol trying to make sure i dont format windows my wubi install is there and later im gunna mount wubi and get the files i want [23:22] I think I'll just go with pygtk. [23:22] yes, it will know [23:23] LibTech: kernel upgrade id say try booting the old kernel [23:23] flowers that was directed at you [23:23] imaginator: i cought it thanks :) [23:23] wubi isnt supported here. [23:23] flowers: man fstab explains some of this, and man mount [23:23] pike_: I am using an orinoco card connecting to an open network. Would there be something I should blacklist or the like? [23:23] i installed jedit but i cant save files, it only work when i run it from terminal (sudo jedit), i have to set somewhere rights for jedit to saved files in /opt/ dir? pls /msg reflexator [23:23] personally, i dont like wubi, its slow and strange. ext3 partition is the right and only way [23:24] imaginator: thanks reading now :) [23:24] Does anyone know of a simplified word processor for Ubuntu? Something similar to 'wordpad'? [23:24] scguy318: I will try with one of the other sticks instead. I doubt there would be something wrong with 2 out of 3. [23:24] ballongen: I would use wubi if it worked. :-) [23:24] Hey what does "--prefix=/usr" mean when I'm configuring an installation? [23:24] LibTech: are you having problem with your orinoco card? [23:24] sco50000: all you need to get the system installed is on the CD... after you get it installed, any other packages you need you can get from synaptic or on the command line with apt-get.. no worries.. [23:24] Grammaticus, Abiword is too bloated for you? [23:24] LibTech: possibly i use a proxim orinoco card - madwifi drivers myself but id just use the old kernel. then again im lazy [23:24] Grammaticus: by word processor do you mean just a text editor or a proper word processor? [23:24] lusepuster: i did download the 64bit AMD virsion too [23:24] well, i got wubi to work when i was desperate, interesting project [23:24] Proper word processor. [23:24] ballongen: yes. [23:24] lusepuster: Supposedly I can't install Abiword on my machine -- some sort of conflict. [23:25] Grammaticus koffice? [23:25] Gekkomon_Shogun, you tried to boot that one too? [23:25] its kde though [23:25] yea [23:25] can anyone tell me how to have Rhythmbox automatically play an audio CD I inserted? [23:25] tom_, I will search for that. [23:25] I mean when I insert it [23:25] Gekkomon_Shogun, that is, you tried to start up from that one instead? [23:25] pike_: It didn't do a kernel update as far as I can tell. At least there is no other option at boot besides the one kernel. [23:25] Grammaticus, what does it say in the error message? [23:25] i think a easy straight forward ubuntu installer for windows, like wubi is, are good for the masses [23:25] lusepuster: i tried both [23:25] james296: rhytmbox preferenses [23:26] Is there a site somewhere that gives example programs you can create to see if you know the language? [23:26] james296: if your cdplayer are automaticly mounted that is... [23:26] Like.. "Bob needs a calculator program built that uses integers." [23:26] Or something.. [23:26] ummm, then what? [23:26] lusepuster, I am on Windows now since I cannot connect to the internet on Ubuntu at the moment -- I have an internal dial-up modem. I'll read it an log back on. [23:26] *and [23:27] Grammaticus, okay [23:27] flamesage: are you looking for a programming tutorial? I know there is an interactive tutorial/challenge for python where you control robots. would that suite you? [23:27] imaginator: would it make sence to make a ram drive as swap? sounds redundent yes, but faster? [23:27] pike_: Do the madwifi drivers work with network manager? [23:27] Hmm.. [23:27] I don't think I know that much about python yet. [23:27] lusepuster: so what should i try now [23:27] flowers: pointless :P [23:27] I'm just looking for more of a... "check as you go" kind of tutorial. [23:27] flowers that seems a bit.... backwards.... [23:27] flowers: might as well have no swap [23:28] LibTech: yep [23:28] flowers: I suppose you could swapon to a file in a tmpfs, but I don't see the point [23:28] what do I do in the preferences? I see nothing that has to do with starting the music on the CD when I insert it... [23:28] pike_: have a link to a good tutorial? [23:28] well that's what i'm thinking... but what purpose does swap serve than a temp dir? [23:28] Gekkomon_Shogun, How did it react when you tried booting the AMD edition CD? [23:28] scguy318: This stick was probably a 32 or 64 mb , and I went into recovery mode. Now it asks for the console's encoding! Do you happen to know if it's UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 in Sweden? (logshot) x) Have seen both in Swedish HTML. [23:28] normal [23:29] Gekkomon_Shogun, or rather the 64 bit edition [23:29] normal [23:29] Are there are any good Gnome alarm clocks? [23:29] flowers: the point of a swap file is once you've run out of physical RAM, it starts moving unused pages to the disk. The reason it's slow sometimes is that the disk is much slower than RAM. So this page movement/traffic slows down your system. [23:29] I tried KAlarm but it won't work for me. [23:29] Djerkaf: I'm betting UTF-8, you're working on a pre-existing install? [23:29] BOZG, cron [23:29] BOZG: just do sleep 123123;cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp [23:29] !cron [23:29] cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto - There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm [23:29] lusepuster: their is one thing about my computer [23:29] BOZG: or at [23:30] imaginator: i see... so using my ram as a swap ram disk would just fill it up quicker, dumping back into ram... haha, completely pointless... well it was a thought! [23:30] scguy318: Pre-existing, I don't know what you mean [23:30] Gekkomon_Shogun, what one thing is that? [23:30] hey people [23:30] how do i install web cam??? [23:30] lusepuster: i have vista 32bit with a 64bit processer [23:30] I will see about fiddling with this thing tomorrow thanks. :-) [23:30] pike_: I was hoping for one with a gui [23:31] !webcam | greentea [23:31] greentea: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras [23:31] tom thanks [23:31] anyone know if intel 82865g has direct rendering capabilities? [23:31] !render [23:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about render - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:31] Gekkomon_Shogun, that should give you no problem [23:31] flowers: I mostly use my 4 ramdisks/tmpfs for busy programs that perform many writes at runtime, and don't need persistence of the disk. Though sometimes I run a backup daemon that makes tarballs of one of the ram disks, for more persistence. [23:31] !direct [23:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about direct - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:31] !direct3d [23:31] Sorry, I don't know anything about direct3d - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:31] Gekkomon_Shogun, but are you sure you burned the Ubuntu CD as an ISO image and not just as an ordinary data CD [23:31] lusepuster: anywhere less crowed we can talk [23:32] !gls [23:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about gls - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:32] So, I am trying to use the graphical installer to install a system having set up partitions by hand from the live CD, but the interface doesn't present RAID devices on the manual partitions screen. How can I tell it to use them? [23:32] !glx [23:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about glx - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:32] Gekkomon_Shogun, I'm not that used to IRC [23:32] flowers: I also wrote a window system that uses a tmpfs as a backing store for window content/files. So that's one use of them. Whenever an msync() occurs it would normally be slower without the tmpfs. [23:32] shrug: what are you looking for? [23:32] hey guys, im very new to linux(have 2 say im lovin it!), just wondering does anybody know anything about ubuntu ''ultimate''? [23:32] !phish | shrug [23:32] Sorry, I don't know anything about phish - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi [23:32] !ot > shrug [23:32] hmm [23:32] !ot [23:32] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome! [23:32] Djerkaf: unfortunately I must go :( good luck with your issue [23:32] shrug, use a pm with ubotu please [23:32] Gekkomon_Shogun, and not too happy giving away my personal IM's [23:33] scguy318: Ok. Well, thank you for your time! [23:33] lusepuster: so what do u think is the problem [23:33] imaginator: so i tried to mount my /work but i gout this error [23:33] imaginator: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab [23:33] anyone knows a creat fulldisk encryption that works with ubuntu? [23:33] hello everybody [23:33] ballongen: luks [23:33] flowers: make sure you insert a newline at the end of the /etc/fstab. If you're using vi/vim it should do it automatically. [23:33] where is my login script located [23:33] ?/ [23:33] Gekkomon_Shogun, I cannot know for sure but it appears to me it is an incorrectly burned CD [23:34] which one [23:34] Well is there a way to not install boot loader then later pull it in or just go go go? [23:34] Well im kinda nervious because of my past experiences [23:34] hello [23:34] Gekkomon_Shogun, that is, if you are sure that You have an AMD 64 bit processor and you are trying to boot from the 64 bit dist [23:34] yea [23:34] !fixmbr| Darkmystere [23:34] Darkmystere: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto [23:34] i built this thing [23:34] could somebody please tell me where is my login script locates, give me a path [23:34] ? [23:34] anyone know how to force a wireless lan hardware switch to stay on in ubuntu [23:34] pike_thanks [23:35] it's in the on position but is still off [23:35] Gekkomon_Shogun, Okay fine, have you made sure you burned the Ubuntu CD as an ISO image and not as an ordinary data CD? [23:35] is ubuntu ultimate any good? [23:35] pike_: I just want windows bootloader back afterwards also i want to be able to access windows for Gaming im thinking about after Ubuntu is installed i may format windows lol and reinstall idk [23:35] cookie_: there are several scripts involved in login, what in particular are you looking for? [23:35] hmm i can try it again [23:36] i heard youbuntu is better than ubuntu [23:36] i think that may have happen [23:36] edaboud, Nothing is ultimately any good, it is all gonna end, eventually [23:36] anyone know how to force a wireless lan hardware switch to stay on in ubuntu?? [23:36] nickrud: shit, IDK, it says to put export PSPDEV=/usr/local/pspdev [23:36] export PATH=$PATH:$PSPDEV/bin in my login script [23:36] completely asleep [23:36] so do i use nero [23:36] ballongen: dm-crypt [23:36] Gekkomon_Shogun, you mean you may have burned an ordinaru data CD instead of iso image? [23:36] kurt: is the wireless lan hardware connected to ubuntu? [23:37] cookie_: add that to /home//.bashrc [23:37] lusepuster: should i use nero [23:37] danbhfive: i'm not sure [23:37] thank you [23:37] nickrud: i got the swap andpartion [23:37] lusepuster, AbiWord cannot be installed on your computer (i386). Either the application requires special hardware features or the vendor decided to not support your computer type. [23:37] Gekkomon_Shogun, I don't know, never owned a Windows installation [23:37] kurt: it sounds like its a separate box from your computer, am I right? [23:37] ballongen: If you're looking for a proprietary solution you may not get much help around here [23:37] Darkmystere: good. Write the bootloader :0 [23:37] gaaaaaaaaa [23:38] luks look fine [23:38] danbhfive : no it's on my laptop so i guess the hardware would be connected to ubuntu [23:38] Grammaticus, where did you download it? [23:38] what is the default ip to access the http server from a ubuntu-LAMP installation?? [23:38] Guys could everyone here wish me luck please i got my toes crossed [23:38] * nickrud missed bobby again [23:38] i would prefere a opensource encryption [23:38] lusepuster, from the 'Add/Remove' programmes list. [23:38] lusepuster: where is the iso file located [23:38] nickrud: Huh lol === IVBela1 is now known as IVBela [23:38] is cryptsetup easy to set up? [23:38] JJHathoway: 127.0.0.1 [23:39] no but i saw a version of ubuntu on youtube yesterday called ubuntu ultimate. i was wondering was it worth checking out? [23:39] Grammaticus, are you running an 64bit ubuntu or smthn? [23:39] I remember reading an article about a program, but now I can't remeber the name. It allows you run a program in a "window" which can be reopened if you lose your ssh connection. This is all command line i'm talking about it. [23:39] danbhfive : no it's on my laptop so it's connected to ubuntu [23:39] lusepuster, 32-bit, I presume. [23:39] Gekkomon_Shogun, that is the file you downloaded from Ubuntu.com [23:39] kurt: are you talking about a wireless NIC? [23:39] danbhfive: so typing that in a browser should take me to the default page right after an installation correct? [23:39] isleshocky78: screen [23:39] danbhfiv : what's NIC [23:40] ballongen: Thanks. [23:40] 70%!!! lol hopefully this works and i dont kill anything after this ill move the files that i downloaded and want to my new install then Rid of wubi and windows gains more space whitch will then 5gb be added to Ubuntu its 15GB right now [23:40] network interface card [23:40] kurt: Network Interface Card [23:40] danbhfiv, yes [23:40] ballongen: is luks not open source? [23:40] danbhfive, yes * [23:40] Grammaticus, what is your processor type? [23:40] debatem1: luks is opensource yes. [23:40] lusepuster, perhaps I have to be connected to the net? [23:40] seems to be. [23:40] ballongen: oh i must have misread you [23:40] Intel centrino, 32-bit [23:40] debatem1: i commented to another user [23:40] ballongen: cryptsetup is easier setup for dm_crypt. It is "easy" to set up if you have good knowledge of Linux partitions... [23:40] Grammaticus, yes you will, it is not on the install CD [23:41] Kl4m: i see [23:41] Kl4m: no "install and click here, voila your done" [23:41] :) [23:41] Grammaticus, That could very well be the problem [23:41] mysqld_safe & [23:41] Kurt: well, I can tell you my experience. I'm using ndiswrapper, and when the wireless connection drops, ubuntu had complete trouble reconnecting [23:41] gotta search for an howto then [23:41] lusepuster, ah, I see. I'll have to wait until I purchase my external modem -- granted the internal simply does not work. [23:41] danbhfive, so what did you do? [23:42] lusepuster, thanks for the assistance. [23:42] Kurt: I changed the channel that the router was using. The default was 6, I played around, and for my area, 7 seemed best [23:42] ballongen: It's harder than bitlocker for example. If you follow howtos and know a bit what you're doing it sets up fine [23:42] net@ircnet:~/mysql$ bash: ./bin/mysql_safe: No such file or directory [23:42] Grammaticus, YW [23:42] Kurt: that way, the connection was more stable [23:42] Does someone know why that error? [23:42] ballongen: You have any sites with tutorials on using it. googling screen is coming up pointless. [23:42] So, I am trying to use the graphical installer to install a system having set up partitions by hand from the live CD, but the interface doesn't present RAID devices on the manual partitions screen. How can I tell it to use them? [23:42] nickrud: Will Ubuntu bootloader allow me to access windows if so i may not need windows bootloader [23:43] isleshocky78: nah, i learned by using man screen [23:43] Darkmystere: yes it does, should find it automagically [23:43] ballongen: kk, I just found some thinks. [23:43] hey guys, I'm having a problem with my install (AMD64), I just put the live cd in, setup a partition, and installed to the partition, but the computer automatically boots into windows, it isn't giving me an option of what o/s? [23:43] danbhfive, i've tried ndiswrapper and it didn't work , it didn't like any of the drivers i tried. So i was told that it's a bug that my hardware switch should be lit and it's not [23:43] isleshocky78: hold ctrl and double click on a to switch between screens [23:43] ballongen: but well bitlocker is proprietary so what security is there anyway. There could be a backdoor for all we know [23:43] danbhfive, because under dmesg it shows that i cannot find the hardware [23:43] ctrl + c to create new windows, and ctrl +d to detach, screen -r to retach [23:44] Kl4m: yeah exactly, very strange. [23:44] i personally dont trust corporate closed encryptiontool. :) [23:44] when I use dpkg to install a deb-file, the package depends on libc6 (>= 2.6-1) but I have 2.5-0ubuntu14. But apt-get install says libc6 is the newest versio. How can I fix this libc6 dependency? [23:44] kurt: well, it sounds like you are having trouble with the card, maybe you should google for some help files specific to your card [23:44] salve a tutti [23:44] nickrud: i didnt know ubuntu bootloader used magic pixy dust :D [23:45] pardon [23:45] Just a little nearveous humar no affense [23:45] any ideas? [23:45] Kl4m: what bitlocker do you mean? microsofts? [23:45] is this an ubuntu support channel? [23:45] Ne0: ur in it. [23:46] ah great [23:46] roadfish: you would have to upgrade your version of ubuntu [23:46] hi can anyone help with int name? [23:46] F1n1ty: grub wasnt installed. [23:46] int name? [23:46] im new to linux and have some questions id like to ask [23:46] !info libc6 feisty [23:46] F1n1ty: did you install with the manual partition tool?

Version 2.5-0ubuntu14 (feisty), package size 4003 kB, installed size 9976 kB [23:46] ballongen, that's what I assumed [23:46] like how do I install the emerald window manager addon thing [23:46] ballongen, yeah [23:46] !info libc6 gutsy | roadfish [23:47] roadfish: libc6: GNU C Library: Shared libraries.

If anyone have encountered the problem... [23:48] nickrud: ok, thanks, I guess I have to bite the bullet ...

[23:50] con-man, No, it is a Linux-game similar to GH [23:50] hello [23:50] I'm having trouble installing the IEEE80211 subsystem, it cant find the components... [23:51] i just read that i could personalize themes more with that emerald thing [23:51] 2.0.0.11 [23:51] con-man, But I don't know GH well enough to tell if it's got nearly the same features [23:51] nickrud: That brings another question is it even possible to do when mouting another install?\ [23:51] Ne0: thats correct [23:51] what does "Make sure that /lib/modules/VERSION/build is a link to the kernel source, where VERSION is the version of the kernel you are running" mean? Pls help [23:51] I tried the root (hdx,x) setup hd(x), but then the computer just booted saying couldn't find any operating systems??? [23:51] lusepuster: does the GH3 guitar work with frets on fire? [23:51] Ne0, emerald has its own themes, most of them look like os-X or vista clones last i messed with it. [23:51] i saw that already [23:51] I am buying a video card to replace my current on-board card. What chipset should I get that compiz-fusion supports that won't cause those black screens? [23:52] dont forget to install subversion and run the little svn line in emerald tab [23:52] well since im new to linux and have no real reason for using it yet i just like to personalize it and make it look nice [23:52] emerald repositaroys [23:52] SpeakerMania, avoid ati. :) pick an nvidia card in your budget. [23:52] con-man, No, FOF is a game by itself [23:52] what is subversion btw? [23:52] is there a reason why the add/remove app would fail in gutsy? i cant add any programs.. [23:52] Dr_willis, okay. Thanks. :) [23:52] valemon : /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build [23:52] "to activate rep bla bla bla does this" [23:52] anyone? [23:52] the command you told me said access denied ballongen [23:52] take nvidia [23:52] !subversion Haskear [23:52] Ne0, spend time learning Linux.. not twiddling with themes. :) heh heh. Its worth the effort to learn the basics first [23:52] lusepuster: then whats the point? [23:52] So, I am trying to use the graphical installer to install a system having set up partitions by hand from the live CD, but the interface doesn't present RAID devices on the manual partitions screen. How can I tell it to use them? [23:53] lusepuster: does it use the keyboard? [23:53] a cheap 6200 will do [23:53] i will learn them but [23:53] is there a way in gnome to setup desktop so that the windows wouldn't atach them selves to the side of the screen if you move them to the side realy close? [23:53] i might sound like a kid [23:53] con-man, in fact I don't know, I was just telling you about it so you could investigate [23:53] creature : if you are really willing, you could do it "by hand" without the GUI but it's kind of complex [23:53] i want an enviroment i can enjoy before considering to really learn linux [23:53] has anyone else here got GH3 to work in linux [23:53] ubuntu keeps telling my battery is fully loaded, while i have not disconnected from AC in the mean time [23:53] When running GH3 with wine I get required security module can not be activated. This program can not be executed. [23:53] con-man, and see if it was anything you liked [23:54] hola, alguien puede ayudarme_ [23:54] wibou: what it means I don't know, I don't speak really good englist [23:54] wibou: how do you mean 'by hand'? [23:54] *english [23:54] /dev/hdb1 /media/disk-1 xfs (rw,nosuid,nodev) [23:54] <- is that a valid line for fstab [23:54] does anyone know if it tries to install Updates during the install? [23:54] !es > kikevm [23:54] ezeki3l: install the Advanced Desktop Effect Settings, and you shall find your answer there [23:54] My wireless connection is not working after boot. But if I load wpa_supplicant with my config file, it works fine. Where can I change the boot options for it, so it loads my conf on startup? [23:54] what was the command to use a terminal thingy as root? [23:54] creature : typing evil command in a console :P [23:54] anyone good with LDAP, im wondering if cn and ou are interchangeable (trying to get openfire to work with LDAP) ? [23:54] i 4got :( [23:54] wibou: If I can kick off the alternate install from the graphical installer I'd be OK with that, but using the alternate install on its own isn't an option, unfortunately. [23:54] wibou: OK. What's the evil command? [23:54] ah got it :X [23:55] valemon : what's its you language? [23:55] greek sir [23:55] Darkmystere: yes, that cloning is meant to bring package installs into sync; it won't remove stuff that's not in the clone list, just adds stuff that is [23:55] ok [23:55] giamon dean mana su [23:55] creature : I can give you a link if you want, but I would not try it if you are not confortable with linux/unix [23:55] the alternative installer is much better in regards to support for hardware and so on in comparision to the live cd [23:55] Are i386 computers now commonly NOT supported by new applications? Everything in the Add/Remove menu says so... [23:55] TCM: not so good [23:55] :( [23:55] wibou: I'm more hardcore than you might think. :) I can handle the commandline. [23:55] nickrud: Ok its gettin close wher it usualy gives me a grub error hopefully it wont this time [23:55] especially graphic cards [23:55] Dr_willis, can you recommend a manufacturer? [23:55] my girlfriend is teaching me slowly [23:56] ballongen i did as u said do i have to do anything more or is it installed now? [23:56] TCM: fair enough [23:56] rb pray for me [23:56] Ne0: your done [23:56] I was migrating to Ubuntu because I thought that getting stuff to work would be less of a struggle, but I am fast becoming disabused of that notion. [23:56] Darkmystere: don't try to outguess the installer, just hit return on everything :) [23:56] ah i see it thank you very much [23:56] nickrud: great tip :) [23:56] can u also tell me a website where i can learn the most important ubuntu linux basics? [23:56] even if users have ONE button to press to install ubuntu, they would fuck it up [23:57] Ne0: you want command line stuff or file system info? [23:57] My wireless connection is not working after boot. But if I load wpa_supplicant with my config file, it works fine. Where can I change the boot options for it, so it loads my conf on startup?
